Problem while updating Ubuntu 20.04 with Synaptic
Solution 1:
Your disk is in read-only mode, which usually means there's something wrong with your file system. Do the following to repair this...
- 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
, replacingsdXX
with the number you found earlier - repeat the
fsck
command if there were errors - type
reboot
