The Root filesystem on dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck[This one needs a diffrent approach,others wont work]
I know this could be a duplicate but none of the solutions in ask ubuntu is working for me. I have tried almost all the solutions in ask ubuntu and still, I get an error either on startup or after login.
I tried this one- Root file system requires manual fsck
I tried the answer by @heynnema ,but it returned no errors and on reboot,I was able to log in but after that, I tried
sudo apt-get update
But I got an error as
W: problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin RemoveCaches (30: read-only filesystem )
E: could not open file -open (2: No such file or directory)
E: problem opening
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
I tried again with sudo apt full-upgrade and sudo apt-get update but I get the error as
bash /usr/bin/sudo input/output error
Also after the system sleeps when I move the mouse while it asks for the password it also says authentication error and I can't enter my password.
If I try shutdown from there or anywhere I get a long list of errors
The only way out is to force the power button.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04, which was updated just last week. I was using firefox the other day when the problems started. Now even if I keep my screen idle after successful login on startup, after a few minutes the sidebar and top bar will disappear and the buttons to log off, shutdown will also disappear only 3 circles will remain when I hover to the top right corner
Please help me out @heynnema @David Foerster @farmuel Angel , I am sharing some images here on the issues I am facing.

Possible duplicate of fsck error on boot: /dev/sda6: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! While I understand you have looked at existing answers, they do indeed include the most information available on the subject. Consider that your disk is actually damaged and therefor runningfsckonce to resolve errors won't stop it from continuing to fail. The problem you get when usingaptare related to cached files on disk that are corrupted and while you can runapt cleanto remove these cached files, you'll likely find them corrupted again since the disk is broken.

About what? If a filesystem is forced to unmount (powered off) at best it will leave a "flag" that it wasn't cleanly unmounted & should be fsck'd, at worst it will loose or corrupt some data. The syslog is usually at/var/log/syslog, and you can just rundmesg | lessto see it. And seeman e2fsckfor it's badblocks /-csection (if your filesystem is ext2/3/4)

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! While I understand you have looked at existing answers, they do indeed include the most information available on the subject. Consider that your disk is actually damaged and therefor running
fsck once to resolve errors won't stop it from continuing to fail. The problem you get when using apt are related to cached files on disk that are corrupted and while you can run apt clean to remove these cached files, you'll likely find them corrupted again since the disk is broken.– Kristopher Ives
