Hi Guys
I have a new install of Xubuntu 20:04 on my Lenovo laptop. Xubuntu is
installed on a brand new Kingston SSD. The SSD is shown as SDA and has
three partition SDA1 mounted as / and formatted to ext4 (45gb), sda2
mounted as /home (79gb)and formatted to ext4, a Swap partition (10gb)
and around 88gb of free unpartitioned space.
There is an sdb1 which is an external USB 1TB drive (2.5 spinney type)
which mounts via fstab on /media/backup
Now the problem, when the laptop starts up it comes up with a black
screen with the word xubuntu & the logo on the page with a progress bar
underneath wording, it starts before the word Xubuntu and ends beyond
the Xubuntu logo (so it looks like it has fully completed. At the bottom
of the screen it say Press Ctrl+C to cancel all files ystem checks in
progress. With in 2 or 3 seconds of the screen appearing the screen goes
blank and then display a message about sda1 being clean.
Now I fully understand the principle of the disk check and a disk check
will runs when a marker has been set on the superblock to suggest that
there is an issue with the file system and when you force a disk check.
What I can not understand is why is it happening.
To date I have checked Smartd on the ssd which has come back with out an
issue, the disk and partitions were written several times (along with
installation) when I set the laptop up as I had a seperate issue which
turned out to be an issue with the external USB drive. I have booted
from a live USB stick and run fsck and e2fsck on the sda1 and sda2 with
no errors found. I have checked the journaled log and nothing is showing
in there.
The shutdown of the laptop seem to be normal, it does not hang or
dispaly any errors.
So anybody got any suggestions, is there anything I can setup to run
which will monitor the shutdown process for reviewing at the next
reboot.
