[11:12] user|69: ok run just: sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware [11:13] did it show anything? [11:13] no, just returns a shown above . . [11:14] i see, do you remember what error messages, any word from those messages? [11:14] [sda] tag#6 Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed .. sounds like a bad disk [11:17] after the boot erros . . .  Kubuntu loads anyway . . . i am using it now, my new Kubuntu to talk to you .. . everything looks normal! [11:19] I have 2 hard disks sda and sdb.  Windows 10 is in sda and Kubutu in sdb . . . [11:19] user|69: how old is the laptop? [11:20] Windows is having some problems . . . its very very slow . . . could that be the reason for the error messages? [11:20] laptop is from 2012 more or less . . . 10 years old [11:21] user|69: just try to cach some of those messages what it reads and then we can discuss [11:21] but even so, if everything works normally then there's no need to worry about. [11:24] to be honest i installed Kubuntu a month ago and it has been working fine until yesterday when it was not booting any longer.  I had to reinstall Kubuntu this morning.  I am worried that it will happen again because those error messages at boot time. [11:25] user|69: then yes. most lilely your drive is about to fails, i suggest you backup all your data. [11:26] before i buy a new disk driver . . . are you sure i have a bad hard disk?  which one sda or sdb? [11:28] user|69: we can test it. [11:28] i have nothing important yet in sdb (Kubuntu)  . . . no need to backup  . . . i think [11:28] ok how do i test? [11:33] user|69: sudo apt install smartmontools [11:34] ok  . . . wait please [11:34] after that run: sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda [11:34] and [11:34] sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb [11:37] hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda [11:37] smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.15.0-56-generic] (local build) [11:37] Copyright (C) 2002-20, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org [11:37] === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === [11:37] SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED [11:37] hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb [11:42] sorry i was disconnectd . . . i have run both commands: [11:43] sda and sdb return as follows: [11:43] SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED [11:44] user|69: could you install gnome-disk-utility? [11:44] yes anything you order . . . [11:45] sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility [11:48] done diogenes . . . [11:49] user|69: sorry i'm a bit multitasking so it takes longer for me to reply that i want [11:49] run in terminal: gnome-disks [11:50] no worries i can wait . . . [11:50] did it open the disks dialog? [11:50] its up and running . . . [11:51] ok in that dialog click on the first drive, then choose the Drive Options, usually represented by 3 dots or a gear [11:51] there select the option: SMART data and self-test [11:52] in the newly opened window look for the row that reads: Current Pending Sector Count [11:53] it should have the value of 0 sectors [11:53] if it's more than 0 then the drive has bad sectors [11:57] i cant find SMART data and self test . . . [11:57] it shows options for partitions . . . [11:58] user|69: look on the right side just before the minimize, maximize and close buttons [11:59] ok ok got it ! [12:02] for sda (Windows) test completed . . . it says Disk is, OK 539 bad sectors [12:02] now running on sdb (Kubuntu) . . . [12:03] Disk is OK (no bad sectors) [12:04] user|69: look for the line: Current Pending Sector Count [12:06] yes that line shows 539 sectors for sda and 0 for sdb [12:06] which means your sda disk has bad sectors. [12:07] by the way the line just below "Uncorrectable sector count" is 0 sectors for sda.  can i somehow correct the bad sectors? [12:08] user|69: there are some command to try to correct the bad sectores but the result is not guaranteed and you need to backup your most important data [12:10] yes i would like to try to correct, if is ok for you diogenes, the Windows data is already backed up. [12:14] Anyway, i think diogenes had to leave.  THANK YOU for your great help!!!  I am very impressed. Have to think about a new hard drive or perhaps a new laptop . . . :b . . . or is it worth trying to fix those sectors ? don know [12:16] anyway, thanks to you,  i have decided to move to Kubuntu for good<3 8) [12:17] bad sectors grow, IMHO [12:17] replace disk [12:18] ok oerheks i will do that . . . thank you for your wise advise [12:20] user|69: sorry i got disconnected, if you want to try to fix those bad sectors, you can try this tutorial: https://ubunlog.com/en/repara-aisla-sectores-danados-disco-duro-estas-herramientas/ [12:24] yes diogenes while waiting for my new hard drive to arrive . . . i  will try to fix those sectors . . . thank you again for your patience . . . you have a friend in France .
