Yesterday I got a pop up on my Ubuntu installation running 19.10 saying that 20.04 is available. I figure I'd give the upgrade a try, hoping it wouldn't take too long. The upgrade completed, and my computer restarted, at which point a filesystem check seems to have started. I let it run overnight, and at this point it's been going for around 12 hours.

At some point I tried cancelling it because it said "Press ctrl+c to cancel all file system checks in progress" on the screen. However after unplugging my external monitor I just see a spinner, the Lenovo logo and a Ubuntu logo.

My question: do these checks usually take this long? is it safe to try and stop it? I'm dual booting with Windows 10 if that makes a difference.

I had been using an external monitor, an old Dell Inc. 19" with Ubuntu 14.04 for a while now, The resolution it displayed at was something like 1366x768 or 1366x1024, I can't remember exactly which one it was. However, one day when I restarted my computer, I can no longer get that resolution on the external display, and can now display a max resolution of 1024x768. Does anyone know why this might happen all of a sudden? I think it was after running a system update.

I'm trying to write a Python script that downloads the latest package from Launchpad using the launchpadlib pip. For a project like grep, I want to be able to download the source packages for a distribution, like the files seen here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/grep . Instead, I can only download the files seen here https://launchpad.net/grep/main , which seem to be outdated when compared to what is with in the distributions. Is this possible with the Launchpad API?

So I decided to upgrade to 14.04 from 12.04 on my Wubi installation, using update-manager -d, but I can no longer boot into Ubuntu. When I try to, I see the message mount:mounting..."etc, then "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init". Does anyone know how to solve this?

mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /root failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
