Fix initramfs error in Linux Mint 21 Xfce Vanessa
In this video you will learn how to resolve the initialization error "initramfs" in Linux Mint 21 Xfce Vanessa. The video was produced based on the error of this specific system. But it may work on other distros or versions of the Linux system. Please note that this procedure may or may not work. If it works for you, leave it in the comments. Then I will leave the recovery command used in the video.
Command:
fsck /dev/sda3 -y
Remembering that each notebook or computer may have a different sda number. On mine it was the number 3, but on yours it could be a 6 or any other number. Watch the video very carefully to be sure of your sda number.
**Even changing the servers to "Main (Vanessa)" and "Base (Jammy)". The problem with the update center reappeared after a few weeks. So I re-entered "Application Sources" and restored the servers' "Default Settings". If it happens again, you will need to choose new "Mirror Servers" to do system and security updates.
***This error can happen due to failures or defects in the HD or SSD, some corrupted file or program. After gaining access to the system, make a copy of your most important files, just in case. Check if this is the time for a replacement of your HDD or SSD as a likely solution.
