Hi all,
After having my Ubuntu 9.10 for more than 2 months and being so happy about it, it has suddenly collapsed. I do not know if collapse is the best word to describe it but it looks like but hopefully has not.
It happened like this: I switched off the computer before leaving for a 10 days trip and no problems. When I came back and switched on the computer but it was impossible to start. The screen first showed the following message:
Mount of file system failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL D will terminate this shell and re-try.

I force the laptop to switch off and switch it on again. It gave me options to initialize under different versions of Karmic Koala but none work. (It gave me the option of making a memory (or file system, I do not remember well) test which I did and says there was no problem). In all the cases it went back to the message above.
I tried Control + D but again nothing. It displayed a page of information of which I write a part of it:
…
/dev/sda1: Superblock last mount time (Thu Feb 18 07:57:09 2010; now = Tue Dec 31 17:28:42 2002) is in the future.
/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSYSTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
…
Mount of file system failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL D will terminate this shell and re-try.

To see all the info after Control + D you can see the picture I took in

If you can not see well the picture and the info on it I can try to make it better or transcript it.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Pablo
