I'm new to Linux so I apologize if I get anything wrong.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and I can't boot it. Whenever I power on my laptop, shortly after a message appears saying "/dev/nvme0n1p5: clean followed by numbers of files and files that are blocked. I dual boot Ubuntu with Windows and this happened when restarting my laptop while plugged in to my monitor. I don't know what to do and the message doesn't disappear.

I hope someone can help, thanks

So after trying numerous solutions this finally worked for me...

Ctrl+Alt+F2 which will lead you to a tty, login into tty using username and password, then, enter sudo apt install --reinstall gnome gdm3. There will be a big output but once it's done type reboot and you should be able to get Ubuntu back up again.

I got the answer from them in this thread (second answer). I skipped the rest of the steps and only entered that command and it worked.

I hope this works for you, good luck.

Have you tried the solution outlinked here "dev/sda1: clean, ..." This message appears after I startup my laptop, then it won't continue booting

Edit 1 : If you are getting incorrect password when you try to purge nvidia drivers, and you are certain your password is correct, please make sure your keyboard layout hasn't changed. You can use this command to check the current layout : setxkbmap -query
