I am also facing a similar issue. I have already done 50% of the course, and I don’t want to start again from the beginning.

Please help!

Here is the screenshot of the error(s)

A few things have changed since I started the course and did the first 50% of the course:

1. You will notice that the terminal says “@camper@da9b2ff080c3”; it was simply “camper@” before
2. I have copied new User tokens when I wasn’t sure what went wrong before I remembered to first enter “echo hello PostgreSQL” before trying this “psql --username=freecodecamp --dbname=mario_database”, and before I saw a forum topic where someone entered “sudo service postgresql start” in their terminal

Can you do an ls /proc in your terminal and capture the output, specifically any directories that are numeric?

Thanks for your reply. Here you go

i’ve been trying to figure out a way for you to get back your environment but unfortunately I don’t know of anything that will help.
I suspect that you may have rebuilt the container? Any time you rebuild the container, it will erase everything.

Oh, I have indeed entered Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container in my vscode command palette. I guess I should have only entered Dev Containers: Reopen in Container
Thanks for you help
