I am on an Asus vivo book, I am trying to update through the app - center but it does not allow me, answer is
mkdirat: read-only file system
Can you please provide us with a Diagnostic (if you are able to create one, read-only filesystem sounds like you are facing a hardware fault).
Open a Terminal and run:
eos-diagnostics
I can but it’s very long and I do not see how I can add an attachment here…

asus_nb_wmi 28672 0ok, I tried to open a document and I was denied “insufficient permissions” so I did something to deny myself access to something…
how to overdo this command and retrieve all my permissions on my laptop?
Please attach the generated diagnostic here in this thread. You can upload a file with the button:
eos-diagnostic-201110_161142_UTC 0200.txt (828.8 KB)
here you have…any ideas?
Your filesystem seems to have some issues. Run the following command in a Terminal:
e2fsck -y -c /dev/sda3
Reboot when finished and try again to update.
thank you but not working here is the result
e2fsck -y -c /dev/sda3
e2fsck 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
/dev/sda3 is mounted.
WARNING!!! The filesystem is mounted. If you continue you WILL
cause SEVERE filesystem damage.
Do you really want to continue? yes
e2fsck: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda3
You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root
and then as root
e2fsck 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
/dev/sda3 is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
I seem to have disabled my rights on the system here…it’s not just the update but I cannot open libre office or any programme that got closed previously…
Sorry, i forgot to mention one thing: Boot with a Endless OS Live USB before running this command. The e2fsck only works when the filesystem is unmounted. So the complete steps are:
- Boot with a Live USB
- Open Terminal
- Type:
sudo umount /dev/sda3
sudo e2fsck -c -y /dev/sda3
Every Live USB you have around will work, doesn’t need to be a EOS one.
thank you, I seem to have recovered all the permissions. I use an external usb and it only found some minor errors in the end (I did not manage to save the report) so all good
thanks a lot!
