<p>I can't get a shell prompt but I ran journalctl in a terminal
emulator. Lots of output but mostly duplicate lines 1-5 and then
78-102. I can't read the issues that may be listed. It's a lot of

Hi Brian, <br>
That 1 TB WD Blue SSD isn't reporting SMART data properly. Or at
least they're not following the SMART standard(s). Using the
Western Digital SSD Dashboard ( Windows only :-( ) you might get
better health metrics. Going off the data you sent I wouldn't be
able to say for sure that the drive is okay. But it appears to be.

187 Reported_Uncorrect     -O--CK  100  100  ---   -   0<br>

That's a very good sign. Anything more than 0 is bad.<br>

232 Available_Reservd_Space PO--CKÂ Â 100Â Â 100Â Â 004Â Â Â -Â Â Â 100<br>

That's also a good sign. Similar to the one below.<br>

I normally use that to tell how much life is left. However, I
can't tell if that is B, KiB, or MiB. Sometimes you see that given
as a percent value.<br>
<br>
At this point I would rule out the drive as the failure. However,
I would not recommend WD SSDs. Samsung and Crucial make some
pretty decently priced SSDs, and I have battle tested those
brands.<br>
<br>
Maybe you were hacked. Very unlikely though.<br>
<br>
Though I still think you should nuke and start over. Were you able
to look at journalctl to see if you can pin point the failure? Or
can you not get to a shell prompt from that OS?<br>

Hi Brian,<br>
<br>
My 2¢.<br>
<br>
If my OS was that hosed, I would just start over. There is a
point where the rabbit hole gets too deep to climb out of.<br>
<br>
Have you looked at the hard drive to see if that HDD/SSD is
failing?<br>
<br>
sudo apt install smartmontools<br>
sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda<br>
<br>
If you have never looked at SMART data, then you will want to
probably send us/me the output. You will probably be better
off doing this from a live USB/CD. If you want a GUI for
smartmontools, look at GSmartControl.<br>
<br>
If the drive is failing, then fixing the OS is a moot point. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Jared <br>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Since I may
not make
meeting (niece
visiting and
Thurs. is her
last day) I'm
putting my
issue out for
comment and
hopefully
answers. As
many of you
know I used to
updgrade
instead of
clean installs
and did that
since Ubuntu
6.04. I had
also added
many apps from
third parties
and also
modified many,
many conf
files to keep
things
working. I had
a meltdown and
lost much of
my data but
following a
partial
recovery,
thanks to a
certain group
member, I
installed a
clean version
of 18.04 onto
a new 1TB SSD.
I have ot
tinkered at
all with 3rd
party software
nor modified
any conf files
or been a bad
boy in any
way!</p>
<p>My issue
ids that I
cannot shut
down my box in
anyway other
than a hard
shutdown. I
also cannot
restart it. I
have tried the
GUI option as
well as
switching to
text mode and
using "sudo
shutdown now"
or "sudo
restart now".
In those cases
I get the
splash screen
with the
"traveling
lights" and
Unutu but it
hangs there.
The traveling
dots hang on
the first dot
of the splash
screen and
nothing
happens. I had
hoped that
text mode
would give
give me an
indication of
the issues but
I can't stay
in that mode
for some
reason. </p>
<p>Thanks for
any help.</p>
<p>Brian</p>
