The error message I am getting is:

(/dev/mapper/isw_dbjigffjdb_RADIOIMSVolume2 contains a file system with errors, c heck forced.
Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.

(/dev/mapper/isw_dbjigffjdb_RADIOIMSVolume2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
                      (i.e., without -a or -p options)
    fsck exited with status code 4
    The root filesystem on  /dev/mapper/isw_dbjigffjdb_RADIOIMSVolume2 requires a manual fsck

How do I fix this?

I have tried to look at other questions about this but I cannot find anything to help me out. I think I'm on a version on which people don't use. I am also on an MSI laptop so I have quite a few problems here and there but I can reslove those.

    There is no such version of Ubuntu as 2.31.1 or anything even close to that. – David Oct 02 '21 at 05:51
  • im also seeing a 1:1.27.2ubuntu3.3 in there – MSI laptop user problem 100 Oct 02 '21 at 05:56
  • that is the version number of some package; but you've not given it any context that allows us to look up what you're using; Ubuntu releases are year.month so 2.31.1 would mean you're using a 2002.31th month release; but Ubuntu only started releasing in 2004 & no year has 31 months.... – guiverc Oct 02 '21 at 05:59
  • I have no idea where you are getting this stuff. Look at system setting / details – David Oct 02 '21 at 05:59
  • i posted an image that might help i have no clue, and im a person with no experience with computers so im very new to this, so please forgive my stupidity – MSI laptop user problem 100 Oct 02 '21 at 06:01
  • busybox | 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu3.3 | bionic-updates/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x so Ubuntu 18.04 / bionic. Have you booted live media and tried to check your file-systems? as it suggests (ie. fsck) – guiverc Oct 02 '21 at 06:01
  • i do not have any recollection of checking file systems or booting live media (i need some more details into "booted live media" – MSI laptop user problem 100 Oct 02 '21 at 06:04

At the initramfs prompt you will need to enter:

fsck /dev/mapper/volume

Then press Enter

You must replace volume with the volume that needs the fsck. In this case it starts with isw_db... and ends in ...Volume2.

You must enter each character exactly; it is case-sensitive. You may be able to use tab completion after typing the first few characters.
