Mint /var/log/fsck/checksfs

[réjean]

Hi all!I have a little problem when I boot into Linux Mint. Here is the message that I get;

*File system check failedA log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/checkfs if that location is writable*A maintenance shell will now be startedCONTROL-D will terminate this shell and resume system boot

which reboot the whole system if I try it, If I don't do anything the message continues;

bash:no job control in this shellbash:groups:command not foundbash:lesspipe:command not foundbash:The:command not foundThe program 'apt-get' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install apt

which sounds a little strange does it not?Then it goes;

bash:apt-get:command not foundbash:discolors:command not foundbash:The:command not found

and then again;

The program 'apt-get' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install aptroot@upstairs:~#

Now all I have to do is press Ctrl-Alt-Del and I eventually get a login screen where I type my username and password and I get into Linux Mint.Oh! here is the content of var/log/fsck/checkfs;

I have been using the Ctrl-Alt-Del for at least 3-4 weeks now so it's not a big deal. I just want to learn a bit more that's all. If anyone has a clue as to what is going on that will be great.

Hi RéjeanCan you tell me on what partition Mint is installed ?? And can you mount that partition in an other distro and post the result of "cat /mnt/<mint_partition>/etc/fstab" ?? Bruno

[réjean]

Here you go Bruno, but as I said it's not a big deal;Oops! Forgot to mention that it is on /hda10

After making the changes ( also see the / in the last line ! ) save the file and reboot in Mint . . . and let us know if you still got errors at boot. Bruno

[réjean]

Thanks Bruno!BTW is the forum slow or is it my ISP. It takes about a minute to reply, edit or change from one thread to another?

[Bruno]

Yep the forum is slow . . . . Bruno

[réjean]

Oh! friend is it ever slow. Anyway, good news. I rebooted into Mint and didn't get the message and it went right to the login screen. You're the best Bruno!!!

[Bruno]

. . . glad it is solved ! . . . . I can go to sleep now, goodnight my friend Bruno
