When I try to boot my laptop, I get this message: /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.

/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. (i.e., without -a or -p options) fsck exited with status code 4 The root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck

Busybox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _

when I write: fsck/dev/sd1 I get the message: /bin/sh:fsck/dev/sd1

What shall I do???

You need space between command and argument. The command is fsck, and the argument is the device /dev/sda1. Try fsck /dev/sda1. Note that there is a space between fsck and /dev/sda1.

Additionally you may want to use fsck -y /dev/sda1 to answer yes automatically to any questions fsck asks.

  • Then you have fixed your file system. Run fsck once more, and reboot.

Alternatively you use fsck /dev/sda2; then type y to any question fsck asks; there must be a space between fsck and /dev. look keenly at the GNU of your Ubuntu if its /sda1 or sda2 reported having the error. fsck the specific sda which is reported to be having the error it works!
