How to Fix initramfs in Ubuntu

It seems that you have a bad superblock. To fix this:
Firstly, boot into a live CD or bootable USB

$ sudo fdisk -l|grep Linux|grep -Ev 'swap'
Then, list all superblocks by using the command:

$ sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 | grep superblock
Replace sda2 to your drive number

You should get a similar output like this

Primary superblock at 0, Group descriptors at 1-6
Backup superblock at 32768, Group descriptors at 32769-32774
Backup superblock at 98304, Group descriptors at 98305-98310
Backup superblock at 163840, Group descriptors at 163841-163846
Backup superblock at 229376, Group descriptors at 229377-229382
Backup superblock at 294912, Group descriptors at 294913-294918

Now, to check and repair a Linux file system using alternate superblock # 32768:

$ sudo fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda2 -y
The -y flag is used to skip all the Fix? questions and to answer them all with a yes automatically

You should get similar output like this:

/dev/sda2 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Free blocks count wrong for group #241 (32254, counted=32253).
Fix? yes
Free blocks count wrong for group #362 (32254, counted=32248).
Fix? yes
Free blocks count wrong for group #368 (32254, counted=27774).
Fix? yes
..........
/dev/sda2: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

You friggin' RAWK!!! I have been pulling my hair out. FYI: This fixed my Ubuntu Mate 18.04. I plugged an old Windows 10 HD into my USB toaster and it thrashed the Ubuntu partition. I didn't think it could do that. But, you fixed it. Thanks so much!!

[danielmodesto]

Thank you, man. You don't have idea how much you help me.

[erkunalgupta]

Thank you it worked perfectly for me, just repaired Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 LTS.

[zhayat]

Thank you ran into this issue for the first time in years using Linux and your video was the first hit and AMAZING it works to the tee thanks you really helped me!so simple makes it look easy 😎🤓🤟🏼

[henrygeorge]

It worked perfectly for me. I just repaired Ubuntu Server 18.04. Working well. Thanks man.

[abhishekpaluri]

Okay, so i've been trying to dual boot linux mint 19.3 x64 cinnamon w/ windows 10 using itsfoss's guide, and i created a bootable USB using rufus, as well as the extra 110gb partition on the ssd and all, but I keep getting the initramfs error. When I try to fsck the partition, it doesn't work for me. It doesn't even recognize the fsck command. What do i do? Maybe the linux is just corrupted, like that one other guy in the comments who said his os was corrupted?

[maggiekali]

hi, if any help I do this steps almost every 3-4 days, it works great then after 3 days same problem, so is there another solution to get ride of this problem

[theroyalaustralian]

Please do not reboot like normal as this video displays, this will not completely fix your issue, before rebooting, please use this command: sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

[theroyalaustralian]

This continues to happen regardless to me, it basically means the operating itself is corrupt, canonical actually corrupted the os so it never be ran after a first and second installation

[marxubuntu]

What screen recorder did you use to record the tutorial?
I'd like to get it on my Windows also, looks easier than some...
Thanks in advance!!

[_tanzil_]

It didn't work for me 😭 and when the error occurs, in that black screen, my keyboard doesn't work either

[MrApplewine]

Why would this happen in the first place. Makes me think I shouldn't try Linux mint.

[thewarlord]

I have a linux Mint with the same issue, I followed the instructions but it didn't work, can you help?😟

[henry]

Please can this work on Ubuntu Server 18?

[tspecht]

What do you do when it says "dump2fs: The ext2 superblock is corrupt while trying to open /dev/sda1 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.??
