Hey guys!

I installed Ubuntu on my computer, the / point on my 128GB dual boot SSD with Windows 10 and /home I put on a 1TB hard drive.

Unfortunately from time to time my Ubuntu has problems as soon as I turn on the computer and try to enter it. I've formatted the computer several times, I've installed Ubuntu 20.04 and also version 18.04. No matter the version of Ubuntu, in a few days the same error appears. I'm already desperate and I don't know what else to do. You can't have an operating system that simply breaks down in a few weeks.

This is the message in my screen when I try access Ubuntu:

I'm using a Dell laptop, if this is important.

But I really don't want to go back to using Windows, please help me.

Forgive my English, I'm not fluent in the language yet.

There's nothing to forgive with your English.


So are you able to login and type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs?

If so, there'll probably be another error message in those logs that gets you closer to the cause.

(It might be a hard-drive issue, so would be a good idea to ensure you have working current backups of anything important.)

I could resolve following these steps:

1 - Using a boot pen drive with Ubuntu image, choose the option "try whithou install"
2 - open the terminal and write (in my case, /dev/sda4 is the partition with /home
3 - in the terminal again write 4 - Say yes to everything and reboot. Done

Thank you for the fast answer s2

No problem - glad you were able to resolve it and share the steps.
