I made some research as im a new linux user and found some fixes for the GRUB which i did and successfully completed sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt update sudo apt install -y boot-repair boot-repair

Everytime I start my computer it fails to load and opens a black screen with the following text/code Im not sure

/dev/mmcbIk0p1: clean, 170092/1908736 files, 2377271/7633408 blocks

i figured this might be a progressive process that I should wait to load but it just sits there on those numbers for hours till my battery dies.

When I did the GRUB repair i logged the process to pastebin link => https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Z4Jz9SYsk3/

I still have the media I used to install ubuntu 18.04 LTS though I cannot afford to lose the data and therefore cant reinstall the OS until all options are exhausted

If anyone has had this erroe before and fixed it your assistance will be greatly appreciated

Thanks :) godspeed

  • The message you list describe as "*those numbers*" are the result of a `fsck` or file-system check because your box wasn't shutdown cleanly last time, and thus it performed a check (or it was time for a check anyway; eg. 30th boot). The result line is an "all good - it's clean" message anyway. They are not your issue, but likely you're using power-off, letting the power die and not shutting down the system cleanly (ie. via SysRq keys, command, GUI instruction) and thus unrelated to your issue, a consequence of it maybe & your method of shutdown. You didn't say if desktop, server etc – guiverc Jul 04 '21 at 00:08

    Does this answer your question? [My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it) – guiverc Jul 04 '21 at 00:09
  • @guiverc all my computers print that line out every boot. I don't think it has to do with an unclean shutdown. A lot of new users post here thinking that's an error message when it's just the last line that was displayed on their screen before the boot / login process stopped. – Organic Marble Jul 04 '21 at 00:43
  • can you edit your question and include more context? Boot repair is supposed to be run from a live session, not your installed system – Nmath Jul 04 '21 at 00:50
  • @OrganicMarble valid point; I don't see it every boot; in fact rarely see it, and just booted a 2006 box I use for QA-test installs (chosen as being a old c2d it's slow & i get to see most/all messages); it didn't show for a recent QA-test install of 20.04.3 which is unaltered); also tried another faster (uEFI) box with an *impish* install & no message shows.. Our hardware all differs and thus we can see different things but I'm not used to seeing it on desktop installs anyway except for after *unclean* shutdowns (or timed/12th/30th etc boot) – guiverc Jul 04 '21 at 00:59
  • @guiverc no one would say my computers are fast lol – Organic Marble Jul 04 '21 at 01:12
