Cannot start linuxmint 18.3[SOLVED]

Post by leocrawf »

I restarted my computer this morning and it could not proceed to the login screen.I tried using recovery mode and it did notwork.Here is the link to my google drive file and its log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Dn_y ... sp=sharing

Can anyone please help. If I can get it to reboot I will copy all the files needed and upgrade to 19.

First things first: Can you boot it from a USB stick? If yes, you can then make a backup of your data.

If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

...at the prompt, try: fsck -yv /dev/sda7

And what Moem said: backing-up you stuff first via using a live stick / cd,
it's always the wisest & safest choice, no matter what.
