Question #78433 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78433

    Status: Answered => Solved

Asta Lyberth confirmed that the question is solved:
In the terminal I wrote "sudo fsck /dev/sda1" as - I think it was you,
shawn, who suggested that as the first suggestion. It worked.

fsck and this command solved my problem, shawn! (If not for this help
possibility it would likely have taken me days to resolve by searching,
reading, reinstalling, regretting, waiting for some computer minded
person to have the time to answer me when I was not busy with something
else and could fully concentrate on the questions, explanations,
procedures, etc. I can't see how I ever would relate 'root problems'
with fsck, dev, sda1....).

This is an expression of my gratefulness for you guys out there helping
one like me with a head far from being computer minded! Thank You so
much!!!

I like the feeling of having a sense of what is installed on the
computer I use daily together with the less spying possibilities and
less commercial minded attitude than wINdoWs represents . Thus I stick
to Linux/ Ubuntu even though I sometimes think that I make too many
errors and so totally am relying upon others helpfulness in cases like
this, that I ought to go back to wINdoWs where my wrong desicions most
likely not will be fatal to the system. But a sense of freedom here
draws me! And with both feet on the ground my sense of what it is all
about will eventually collect to something more and more useful for my
purpose and use of the computer!
