I'm using a Thinkpad X1 Yoga with dual boot Windows 10 + Ubuntu 20.04. Yesterday I installed imagick and rebooted my PC, and now I can't boot into Ubuntu because it shows a black screen with a single line /dev/nvme0n1p5 clean. xxx/xxx files. xxx/xxx blocks shown. I can't use ttyl (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) either. These give me a completely black screen with using a typing cursor. I can boot into Windows 10 fine.

  • Have you tried some answers here https://askubuntu.com/questions/882385/dev-sda1-clean-this-message-appears-after-i-startup-my-laptop-then-it-w yet? I would always boot with a live CD (iso) then select "Try Ubuntu" then unmount the / and run fsck for such errors. – darth_epoxy Sep 26 '20 at 05:56
  • It seems none of the solutions in the above link work. 1. Can't switch to ttyl as stated above. 2. My laptop doesn't have an nvidia display card. 3. heynnema's solution doesn't solve my problem either. 4. I also looked into /etc/default/grub and there isn't something called "nomodeset" – matohak Sep 27 '20 at 19:40

My solution is as follows (not sure what made it work exactly):

connect laptop to internet with lan cable boot to the GRUB menu choose Advanced Options choose Recovery mode choose enable Networking choose Root access

Repeatedly try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
