trouble booting Ubuntu

[B. Henry]

I've had this happen a number of times on arch, but never on Ubuntu or Vinux, so not sure how it would be dealt with.
You'd not have a root PW by default on Ubuntu, most people do not make one, so no idea how to deal with this if it were to happen, but again, never seen it 
myself on the distro in question.
You can run fsck from a usb stick with a live system on it, one of the things I was thinking about when I suggested getting such a usb thumbdrive together 
in my other preply.
