initramfs boot error (cannot type)

I got the initramfs error message when I tried to boot. All the solutions I found included typing some commands. However, I cannot type anything.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi cronyc,

I would boot into a live USB, launch Gparted, right click on the Linux partitions on my drive and run a check filesystem from there. Hopefully this will resolve the issue.

If it doesn't, please take a photo of the error messages you get and post it here for those forum members who are able to assist you to have an idea of what might be wrong

Yes, definitely post the error message if you can. Meanwhile, maybe something here will help:

i feel like i'm stating the obvious here, boot with a different kernel or use timeshift to restore your system to when it worked

That should work, IF he can do either of them.
