what happens when you write 'exit' - does it give mostly the same text but with mention need of manual fsck?
if so - it should mention a partition (eg /dev/sda1 or something like it). if it does you can then do 'fsck [your dir listed] -y

What happens before this ?

• Just after an OS update ?
• After some installation or did you follow some online recipe for some reason guiding you doing some command line actions ?

And also - is your computer able to properly boot using the Bodhi iso image ?

It's an old PC

It's an old PC

I have an Optiplex 780 with Linux Mint myself, so it's kind of obvious for me it's old. However, those models tend to have a pretty good life span.

Do you still have an issue with Bodhi Linux or did you resolve it somehow ?

It just doesnt do anything I already did the fsck and it didn't work .i changed to Linux Lite and it only worked a few days

Linux Lite also builds on Ubundu. Maybe you should try a Linux distro that is based on Debian - e.g. Linux Mint Debian - ok, maybe not that if you have very little RAM.

You may try MX Linux, another Debian based distro, but runs Xfce desktop and is therefore not so ram hungry.

If it's still a problem, maybe there is something wrong wither with disk drive or RAM. Btw most Linux ISO image have Memtest as option, so it's very easy to check ram - just let it run for some hours.

Ok I'll try then let you know in a few days

Ok sounds like you may have an issue with the drive unfortunately..

Do you mind sharing what you did to make it work again? New hdd/ssd ?

No, I put MX Linux on it as you suggested
