Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

Based on the terminal log it looks like you have a read-only filesystem. That would cause the failures you are seeing. A better question is why you have a read-only filesystem.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'.

However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would
be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem
with steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu
rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug
status back to "New".

For local configuration issues, you can find assistance here:

Hello Joshua,

It is funny you write as I was thinking at how to remove the bug report.

It appears that I had a power micro outage which trigered filesystem
errors on the computer that where plugged at this time;

This resulted on one of them by two read-only filesystem and the other
one, crashed.

So the problem is not on ubuntu package but on the power grid company...

Sorry for the inconvenience !

Have a bright day.

No worries, glad you figured it out :) I will mark this as invalid to close it then.

Thanks you for following up!
