HELP!
I'm trying to get back to ubuntu...my mouse froze and I rebooted it came back with an "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY " and wants me to run fsck MANUALLY, Whatever that means. All I have right now is (initramfs) and a list of built in commands. What do I do next?

Hi & Welcome to LQ-:)
"Help" isn't the best title for your thread.In the future please be more descriptive. " Ubuntu FSCK/Unexpected Inconsistency " or something similar would of been a better choice. "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY " means a not so graceful shut down. This is sometimes caused by a power outage or hard a hard shut. From your description it sounds like you need to repair your linux filesystem & you need to use the fsck command.:) The fsck utility should only be run against an unmounted filesystem to check for possible issues. I don't have experience with this tool so until other members here can assist you with this thread try these links to learn about fsck. Sorry I don't know more. http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/fsck.htm https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fi...roubleshooting http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/08/...mand-examples/ If all you have is an initramfs prompt saying something like: Code:
/root/dev failed: No such file or directory http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74...lure-initramfs Check on your fs with: Code:
fdisk -l To repair it, we just need to run fsck with the force option : This is just an example your fs may be ext 4 and the /dev/sdX maybe differnt- Code:
fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1 |
boot a live system from either usb or cd/dvd and run some diagnostics (fsck=file system check).
there are even dedicated distros for this, but any ol' linux should do. if you give us more detail, we might give you back more detailed advice. |
Open a terminal and issue:
Code:
sudo touch /forcefsck It should not ask, but just "do" the fsck w\out much intervention. |
Isn't Ubuntu now systemd ?.

Let me know how that goes. |
You could try booting with "init=/bin/bash" added to your kernel command line. When you get the grub menu, go to the Ubuntu line, and add "init=/bin/bash" to the end of it. You will be dropped to a shell. Just type "fsck /" and your file system would be checked, prompting you with stuff to fix.
