+   In older versions of Ubuntu, fsck used to work from the Recovery Mode.
+   However, later versions of Ubuntu leave the primary HDD/SSD mounted,
+   so fsck no longer works.
+   Let's check/repair your filesystem...
+    boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB in “Try Ubuntu” mode
+    open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
+    type sudo fdisk -l
+    identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
+    type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX, replacing sdXX with the number you found earlier
+    repeat the fsck command if there were errors
+    type reboot
