Is my data recoverable from MySQL? I don't mind if I have to cut and paste everything back into the wiki. It doesn' contain heaps of data but it does contain some techobabble gems and I would like to recover them if possible.
Is it doomed?
It sounds to me like your data is still 100% recoverable. You can most likely bring your kubuntu install up in textmode using the older kernel (which should still be installed) and then do a mysqldump of the data. For the rest, it's probably easiest to back up /home and anything else you want to keep, and do a clean reinstall.
