Ubuntu – “dev/sda1: clean, …” This message appears after I startup the laptop, then it won’t continue booting

bootstartup

dev/sda1: clean, 552599/6111232 files, 7119295/24414464 blocks

After I turn on my laptop this message appears. The system never boots, the message just stays there.

I have had this problem occur a few times, and every time it was ODDLY Nvidia's fault - yes COUNTER-INTUITIVELY

If in Ubuntu after a long painful reboot run:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

or if locked try Ubuntu's awesome way of troubleshooting and try: Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F7 to get to "TTY1-7" and run the same thing. Reboot for good measure, and re-install Nvidia's Proprietary Drivers.

I hope I helped, Mark

Ubuntu – Message: /dev/sda5 clean, blocks

This is normal, it's showing that your main partition /dev/sda5 is being checked for filesystem errors, by fsck, on every boot. In older versions of Ubuntu, the checks used to be after a specific time period or number of reboots. It appears that checking the disk on every boot is the default behaviour for 16.04.

Ubuntu – Stuck at fsck “/dev/sda1: clean xxx/xxx files […] ” after upgrade to Ubuntu 16 from 14

You'll also run into this exact error if you run out of disk space as well. I was stuck at boot

Ctrl + Alt + F1 or F2 into tty2 login

df -h says /dev/sda1 is 100% used

I find the stuff I need to delete with this command

du -d1 -h /home/username | sort -h

For example, I deleted some folders like so

sudo rm -rf /home/username/Desktop/folder/*
sudo rm -rf /home/username/.cache/*
sudo rm -rf /home/username/.mozilla/*

reboot and now it boots up no problem now
