When attempting to boot, my computer get permanently stuck on sda6 : clean: xx blocks: xx message. I've attempted to fix this issue but am not having any luck.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Selected Recovery Mode option from Grub menu, then select continue with with normal boot. This brings me to the login page where I immediately get a system problem pop up message. Every time I attempt to login in, a pop up message flashes and I get returned back to the login prompt before being able to click report problem.
2) In grub menu, I have pressed 'e' then edited 'quiet splash' to 'nomodeset quiet splash'. As far as I can tell this didn't do anything.
3) I have selected recovery mode option then proceeded to root option. I edited a file /etc/default/grub to do the same thing as in #2 I think. I forget how it I got to it, but I continued to a boot session with f 10. A lot of scripts showed up part of the boot process, and it got stuck on Start Show Plymouth Boot Screen.
Anyways I really have no clue what I should do. Currently I think if I am somehow able to clear my clash logs, then try to reboot in recovery mode that prompt won't display. I really only need one file, so even if I can't log in graphically, I would be okay with using some sort of terminal command to backup the file onto a usb possibly. Also this is on a partitioned hard drive. I can boot into Windows just fine.
Thanks for any help,

nomodeset
is absolutely NOT required.
