"Welcome to emergency mode!" Think it is a fsck problem

My computer booted to a black screen with this error message.

Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in,type "journalctl -xb" to view   
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to   
try again to boot into default mode.

journalctl -xb snippet (what I think is wrong):

I ignored other errors like: ACPI PCC probe failed, nvidia not proprietary, etc.

I can access my PC by pressing Ctrl+D , but it is annoying.

Solution 1:

You could run fsck from Ubuntu Live.

1. Switch on your computer. Boot into a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB (try it without installing).
2. After it loads, open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

3. In the terminal, run:

   sudo -i
   fdisk -l
   

   fdisk will inform you what your partition / (root) is called. In this question it is /dev/sdb1.

   Then you should continue by running:

   umount /dev/sdb1
   fsck -y /dev/sdb1
   poweroff
   

   If the umount command complains that sdb1 is "not mounted", that is not a problem. We wanted it to be "not mounted" :).

4. Remove the DVD/USB. Switch your computer on again, to boot from the SSD.

Solution 2:

I don't know if u have solved your problem. What I did is :

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Then delete what you added there for sdb1 and then run:

sudo systemctl reboot

It says it's corrupted, so I don't know whats up about that, but I hope this could help someone who can't run their Linux.
