Fix 'UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; Run fsck manually' on Ubuntu

If you have the following Ubuntu error, I might have a fix for it.

fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
/dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/sda1: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.

/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
        (i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck exited with status code 4
The root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck

Busybox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _


And believe me help command does nothing.



Solution:

Just fire a simple command to execute  fsck manually.

fsck /dev/sda1

If some other filesystem is causing the error then mention that name after fsck.

It will show some processing. If it asks any questions like Fix(y/n)? always enter y.

In the end when (initramfs) reappears enter:

reboot

Well, that's all! It worked for me. Hope it works for you.

Create drop-down menu with image icons in Android

Hello devs! In this tutorial, we will be creating a drop-down menu on clicking a button in Android studio. Here is an image of how our menu is going to look: On clicking the hamburger icon, a vertical menu will appear with image icons of your choice. Above image is just to get an idea of what we are going to develop. Let's get started. Step 1: Open the layout file where you want the menu. Add the hamburger icon on an image button. <ImageButton android :layout_width= "50dp" android :layout_height= "50dp" android :src= "@drawable/ham" android :id= "@+id/ham" android :background= "#00000000" />  Note : #00000000 specifies 'transparent' background. Step 2: Add a vertical linear layout for the menu. Inside that, add nested linear layouts for horizontal rows. <LinearLayout android :layout_width= "wrap_content" android :layout_height= "wrap_content...

Open the last opened activity in Android and save values. (Android Studio)

Hello devs! This post is going to tell you a way to open the last opened activity in Android. There are cases where we keep a login for the app and we need to use that login every time we open the app. However, you see in good apps, you don't need to login each time unless you logout. Following are the ways to achieve this: 1. Firebase Auth - this is the simplest way. However, if you don't want to use Firebase or have your own API, check out the next method. 2. SharedPreferences - Following is the way to make use of that: 1. In every activity you wish to open, add the following code. @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("X", MODE_PRIVATE ); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit(); editor.putString( "lastActivity" , getClass().getName()); editor.commit(); } This could be your MainActivity and your LoginActivity. 2. Next, create a class called a...
