So the problem started when my steam client was updating, then i went to the market and when i came back there was this big screen full of text and it was stuck and i couldnt switch to any other tty, so i shutdown the laptop manually and whenever i boot it first grub comes up then i see a bunch of text starting with [ok] then it stops at 

[ OK ]  Mounting arbitrary file formats

Note that the last line differs each time i boot up. And after this text it transfers to tty1 and there is the ubuntu logo with five dots ( the usual boot process) and it gets stuck here... All the other tty s are blank.

Edit 1: k after many many times of booting i have noticed smthing strange, now i can only switch to tty2 + tty6 and when i double switch it goes back to graphical view. And in tty 2 + 6 it says

Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctlb -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into default mode. <

Ok, atlast i fixed it, i went into recovery mode and selected root shell, first i ran e2fsck -p /dev/sda1 which gave an error thqt said I should fsck manually without -p or -a flags and i did. It worked. And everything is fine now, but i rlly dont understand how a steam upd can mess up my filesystem...
