Bug Description
My system is a toshiba satellite that was originally windows and i converted to ubuntu after several errors led to me erasing my harddrive and installing ubuntu. I frequently need to manually fsck /dev/sda2. I have also found that it is difficult to install updates on this system. I typically need to reboot and manually fsck then attempt reinstall. I believe that I am running ubuntu 16.43.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your dmesg attachment in this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your hardware. I recommend performing a back up and then investigating the situation. Measures you might take include checking cable connections and using software tools to investigate the health of your hardware. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!
