Ubuntu boot fix needed

[Flamey]

I have a laptop that is dual booted and was working fine until recently, when suddenly it stopped working and Ubuntu does not boot at all and drops to intramfs. i tried finding solution online but don't want to try their solutions as the log that they get is different from mine.

 

 

Can anyone who knows this stuff can help me know the solutions.

 

P.S. If it makes a diffenece some days ago i moved to a SSD storage from HDD.

After the move, was everything working properly?

Yes everything was working fine

You're getting mounting errors, my guess is, that something messed up during the move from the HDD to the SSD... Did anything else change since?

I'm 100% positive that it was working as usual after the move, was using it for a week.

Did you migrate or a fresh install? 

 

You could just connect the drive and recover anything you need from it and do a fresh install?

 

edit: Are you trying to overclock or anything?

I migrated it and reinstalling is not a feasible option as i had done a lot of customization and package installs on that ubuntu.

Did it stop working directly after you installed the packages?

No, i think it stopped when i once ran out of battery and the system shut down.

[KhakiHat]

Hmm, that is odd. But somewhat explains a sort of error from not shutting down properly.

Do you have an idea of how to fix it?

The failure is with the filesystem, the ACPI errors have nothing to do with failing to boot.

 

You need to fsck the root partition.

 

If it failed while doing package management, and you did not fix the filesystem problem before migrating, the filesystem may be broken now.

fsck does not do anything it just tells that 0.1% is non contiguous and does not fix anything

I don't think there is anything useful there.

You have to run it by hand with the proper command line switches to fix things.

I ran it as "fsck /dev/nvme0n1p3"(partition name) and that is what i got after googling about fsck.

Try the -a flag.

 

If it still errors out, the FS is toast and not worth the time to recover unless you have valuable (as in, worth money) information on it.  The "no journal found" error is quite serious if its an EXT3 or EXT4 partition.

Did you have a look at this while searching?

Your best bet in cases like this is searching individual lines from your error prompt.

Usually someone else had the exact problem as you and found an easy fix.

If you moved from SSD to HDD, do you still have the HDD or did you format it? if you still have it, you can try going back to the HDD and make sure your data is there. If it is, just wipe the SSD and migrate it over again.
