Hi, I upgraded via a USB I purchased with LTS. When it boots Get a /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. IT then goes through some system drags I assume and finishes with /dev/sda1 unexpected inconsistency: run fsck manually, fsck exited with status code 4

Have you booted your 'live' media (the install usb-drive; which I'd also suggest using the check-install-media option to verify it's valid as well) and runfsckfrom there? The file-system is possibly in an unclean state because you've forced it to power-down (without keyboard telling it to shutdown cleanly via command or Sysreq-combination).

it was working fine for a while and it seemed as though when I did the last round of updates it started playing up. How do you check-install-media option?
