Yesterday after rebooting my PC, I received this message and even after more than 12 hours it didn<|pad|> to not boot. I searched for solutions but nothing worked. How can I fix this? I’m new to Linux and don’t have a graphics card installed. Before this issue, Linux worked fine and showed an update error. I don’t remember exactly what it said.
You've run the standard initial check for /dev/sda5. What steps have you attempted thus far?
Repeated restarts, setting up the GDM service (which initially didn’t start)
Sure, you can modify the last character of /dev/sda5 to 0 to prevent it from attempting checks. It should finish quickly, though the setup might still take time based on your system. Once it boots fully, you can manually run fsck if needed. What type of storage device is this, and what’s the size of the partition?
Your observation indicates ext4 reindexing the journal while encountering a problem that leads to hanging. It may be due to file system degradation or disk issues. Disconnect the system and restart in a clean environment, then perform a diagnostic check on the disk.
