I have a laptop which has both linux Ubuntu and windows 10 partitions. I am not the one who installed it and I don't know the specifics. I consistently use both systems and never had a problem. The other day I turned on ubuntu and there was a similar message as here fsck error on boot: /dev/sda6: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY so after reading some comments I ran fsck /dev/sda8

It ran ok, there were no other issues, but then when I booted again Ubuntu didn't work. At first it got stuck and didn't recognize any input from keyboard/trackpad etc, so I booted again and it seemed ok, however I can't do anything on it: I can only access some text files, and open R studio, but if I run codes or even type it gives errors, I can't open chrome and most other programs, and it seed my USB stick but tells me I can't open it because it's read-only.

Windows is running fine, I'm using it rn, but of course I can't access any linux data.

Does anyone have a clue about what might have happened? I am not tech savvy so I'm sorry if I'm missing important details, pls let me know if I should add something!

Edit to add: meanwhile, is there a way for me to access the files I have on ubuntu? For instance making a back up from recovery mode or accessing them from windows

*"if I run codes or even type it gives errors"* some examples of the codes and errors might be helpful for diagnosis

This is specific for the program R studio, if I try running some codes on it I can access all tables/files I need but then when I try to plot something from them it tells me "error in plot.new: could not open file .jpg". Also sometimes a window pops up telling me there's problems with running codes. Might be specific to Rstudio and not have anything to do with ubuntu crashing, but I didn't experience it when I ran the codes a few days ago before the crash. I am on windows, I worry if I try to get on ubuntu again to determine what I can do and what I can't, I'll just mess up more stuff

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
