No, this is not the problem I've encountered. I asked because I wanted to know how to check file integrity, just to be on safe side.

This:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ty-4175585031/
...is that thread, where you
force-stopped the upgrade. In that very thread you say that you used recovery to factory-state, right??? What do you think that does? You corrupted your system by doing something bad, had to reset to 'factory' (i.e. initial state). Fsck will report any bad spots on the screen...there is no saved report. Read the man page. But from THAT thread (your PREVIOUS thread), we're here to your NEW thread, which is titled

Re-installation...but you didn't 'reload'??? You do realize they mean the same things, right???

But I don't said that I forgot my root password, I don't forgot it, Ubuntu don't allow login as admin, once I login it keeps me back in to login screen.(the screen flashes to console, then I'm thrown back to the login splash). I If I mistype pass, error istalways visible.

First,
DO NOT LOG IN AS ROOT/ADMINISTRATOR, PERIOD. That's been covered on here as a VERY bad thing thousands of times, and there isn't ANY site that will tell you this is good. Log in as your regular user, and assume root ONLY when needed to. Why do you think that administrator/root login is disabled BY DEFAULT???
Secondly, again...did you try just putting "enable root login ubuntu 12.04" into Google? Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. The
FIRST TWO HITS are:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
http://askubuntu.com/questions/44418...ble-root-login
...which are LOADED with warnings about NOT doing this, for very good reasons.

You're having issues, because
you are doing things badly. This isn't because of Linux...it's you. You're manually stopping things that SHOULD NOT be stopped, running as root, etc. Also, you've now been using Linux for two years...why are these things 'new' to you?
AGAIN...if you have a Dell laptop that's under support with Dell, using Dell supplied OS,
WHY are you not CONTACTING DELL FOR HELP??? If you're NOT under support, stop trying to force things to work in ways they're not supposed to, stop where you are, and load the latest versions of things, and move forward. You're having problems because you CAUSED them with the botched upgrade. If you HAD admin/root login enabled before, and you
reinstalled, why are you amazed that it's not there now? You
reset the system, which obviously puts that back, right????
