My Linux Mint installed alongside windows (dual boot) wasn't booting and was giving the (initramfs) console so I ran a manual fsck -y /dev/sda7. Then when I booted back to Linux it gave two errors and the taskbar disappeared.



The first error is the same as this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/89891/panel-encountered-a-problem-while-loading-clock-applet-factory-clockapplet and the other is the same but with the wncklet factory applet.



Any idea what I should to restore things before I ran the fsck or do I have to reinstall Mint again?

  • @IporSircer I would downvote your comment if I could. There's no evidence whatsoever in the question that indicates an impending disk failure.

  • JoeEhab12 did you get any messages or warnings from the fsck command? Generally it's a really bad idea to run fsck -y unless you know what you're doing. (Actually, let's generalise that to any invocation of fsck. Just don't do it.)
