Short while after installation and kernel update
I get this Error & unable to access desktop.
In System setup - there's no option to prioritize
Boot device as usual.
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
orsudo 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
orsudo 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?
â Sebastian Stark

@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 think it's a bad habit, and those are bad programs :)

@SebastianStark using sudo in root shell makes no difference... and what are bad programs?fsck
isn't.
â heynnema
Apr 25 at 11:53
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"
