Short while after installation and kernel update
I get this Error & unable to access desktop.



Unexpected Inconsistency



In System setup - there's no option to prioritize
Boot device as usual.



Boot from HD only



My question is: How should I access desktop
or restore the boot prioritize ability?



[Please be specific & detailed as possible]

To check/repair the file system on your Ubuntu partition...



  • boot to the GRUB menu

  • choose Advanced Options

  • choose Recovery mode

  • choose Root access

  • at the # prompt, type sudo fsck -f /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root or sudo fsck -f /

  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors

  • type reboot

If for some reason you can't do the above...



  • boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB

  • start gparted and determine which /dev/sdaX is your Ubuntu EXT4 partition

  • quit gparted

  • open a terminal window

  • type sudo fsck -f /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root or sudo fsck -f /dev/sdaX # replacing X with the number you found earlier

  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors

  • type reboot

  • Why the sudo if you're in a root shell already?
    – Sebastian Stark
    Apr 25 at 6:00










  • @SebastianStark probably habit... but I've seen situations where even though you're in root, some commands that would normally require sudo, post an error/warning message if sudo isn't used, even in root.

  • I meant those programs you mentioned that warn you about not using sudo, although you are root already. It makes no (big) difference, but it could give newbies the impression that "for fsck you need sudo"
