In VMware, Ubuntu is displayed on a black screen:
1 mount of filesystem failed
2 A maintenance shell will now be started.
3 Control-D will terminate this shell and re-try
4 root @ mint :~ #
The solution is also simple:
1 fdisk-l
01 Disk/dev/SDA: 80.0 GB, 80032038912 bytes
02 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9730 Cylinders
03 Units = cylinders of 16065*512 = 8225280 bytes
04 disk identifier: 0xcf62cf62
05
06 device boot start end blocks ID system
07/dev/sda1*1 2805 22531131 7 HPFs/NTFS
08/dev/sda2 2806 9730 55625062 + F w95 ext 'd (LBA)
09/dev/sda5 2806 5355 20482843 + 7 HPFs/NTFS
10/dev/sda6 5356 8160 22531131 7 HPFs/NTFS

13/dev/sda9 9002 9730 5855661 83 Linux
2.
You can see the LINUX partition in/dev/sda8 and/dev/sda9, and then use the following command to fix it:
1 fsck. ext4/dev/sda8
2 fsck. ext4/dev/sda9
Note that this is for the ext4 file system.
