Ubuntu 22.04 asks for manual fcsk

Question

I started my laptop today and get this:

enter image description here

What am I supposed to do? Thanks

Update: fsck helped! But it came with these messages. Do I need to worry?

Looks like your file system is seriously messed up. Maybe a hard drive error. 'The drive being encrypted makes a recovery even harder. — zx485, Mar 09 '24 at 01:03
OK. Thanks. Then I will prepare for worst case and also do a disk check. — doro9034, Mar 09 '24 at 01:08
If you have access to (an install of) smartmontools, you can use smartctl --all ... to check if the drive is still ok. — zx485, Mar 09 '24 at 01:14

It seems that the laptop was closed without shutting down properly. This may happen if it runs out of battery in sleep mode.

Run the command

fsck -y /dev/mapper/vgkubuntu-root

Afterwards, type exit tor reboot.

Perfect! Thank you! It just booted up again. Do I need to worry about the second screen in my question? – doro9034 Mar 09 '24 at 00:40
No problem. Type exit to reboot. If that works, don't worry. But still do a disk check, just in case there is any error. – Archisman Panigrahi Mar 09 '24 at 03:54
"smartctl --all /dev/nvme0n1p1" came out with: "Error Information (NVMe Log 0x01, 16 of 256 entries) No Errors Logged". – doro9034 Mar 09 '24 at 23:01
That's great! Nothing to worry about – Archisman Panigrahi Mar 09 '24 at 23:03
