run file-system checks on ubuntu server using live media

I'm getting a readonly file system error with my ubuntu server after a power outage. I have the thumb drive I installed the server from. It's been suggested I boot from the thumb drive and run file-system checks that detect and fix any issues, but to not run fsck. Can someone please describe the process and commands I should run to perform the file-system checks using my live media?

here's the error I'm getting:

Unable to setup logging. [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/var/log/landscape/sysinfo.log'

I'm not sure why you were told not to run fsck and I'm reasonably sure this is a duplicate (though I didn't find anything exactly the same in a brief search), but there are several ways to [check for disk errors](https://linux-tips.us/how-to-check-a-disk-for-errors/). There are many tutorials online about booting to live media and how to find your drive's designation. This is possibly a duplicate of https://askubuntu.com/questions/211696/read-only-file-system (and others) so I'll leave this as a comment.

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.
