I have a machine that stopped working. It left this message:
Code:

I cannot get to a terminal so that I can do the manual fsck that its asking for. I have tried to re-boot and press f7 in the hope that will do something but it does nothing so I can't even try to do anything. This is a 20.04 ubuntu system (I have put off upgrading it but, maybe, I should do that but maybe not now?
I found out that I can get to a menu of sorts:
continue startup
system information
change language
diagnostics (f2)
boot menu (f9)
computer setup f(10)
network boot (f12)
Utilities
run UEFI Applications
I am not sure what each does or might do.
Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated - thank you...............
