After updating the bios and installing Ubuntu 16.04 I went to install the Nvidia 375 graphics driver for my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 graphics card. Everything appeared to install correctly so I went to restart the computer to complete installation.

On reaching the login screen I attempt to login but am displayed with this message: "/dev/sda2: clean, 223731/20229632 files, 3079056/112906752 blocks"

The message appears for less than a second before I am returned to the login screen.

I found the following questions with the same issue: My Ubuntu is running fsck on every bootup /dev/sda1: clean, 220240/30269440 file, 2971359/121076736 blocks Startup problem in 16.04?

I failed to identify a conclusive solution regarding these problems however. I am probably just being dumb though. I am new to Ubuntu so please try to explain simply if possible. Thank you ^-^

The message "/dev/sda2: clean, 223731/20229632 files, 3079056/112906752 blocks" is a good/normal message to see. It says that your file system check was good.

To solve the login problem, do the following...

  • replace your_username, shown below, with your username

    1. boot the computer and observe the GRUB menu
    2. choose advanced options
    3. choose root access
    4. type sudo mount -o remount,rw /
    5. type cd /home/your_username
    6. type sudo chown your_username:your_username .ICEauthority
    7. type sudo chown your_username:your_username .Xauthority
    8. type reboot
    9. login like normal

If for some reason you still can't log in, you may have to fix a /tmp directory problem, or roll back your recent video driver installation.

So to anyone with this issue. I fixed it by pressing f2 on start up and going into uefi and bios. Then going to boot and changing the os option from windows to other.
