Now I split the file system of the installed system in /dev/sda5, and it was corrupted, when when installing Kubuntu bionic (actually from the first point release, the kubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso file) into /dev/sda6.
These two last installs were made in Swedish, 'alongside', and in both cases finished by reboot, when the installer finished. This time I repaired the file system of /dev/sda5 from the installed system in /dev/sda6, and after that it works again. This time the bash history survived after repairing, so some other file(s) resided in the bad inodes. --- tester@tester-SATELLITE-PRO-C850-19W:~$ sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sda5 e2fsck 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018) /dev/sda5: återhämtar journalen Pass 1: Kontrollerar inoder, block och storlekar Utsträckningsblocken för inod 25021 klarar kontroller, men kontrollsumman stämmer inte med utsträckningarna (logiskt block 9, fysiskt block 4806166, längd 1) Fixa<j>? ja Pass 2: Kontrollerar katalogstruktur Pass 3: Kontrollerar katalogförbindelser Pass 4: Kontrollerar referensräknare Pass 5: Kontrollerar gruppsammanfattningsinformation Antal fria inoder är fel (1782394, räknade=1782393).

It seems that some but not all previous systems (and their versions of ext4 file systems) are affected. When the previous system is Bionic it is affected, which is bad enough to make this bug relevant. ** Attachment added: "The same symptom as last time (but in Swedish)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1783757/+attachment/5173511/+files/temp.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783757 Title: shrinking previous file systems makes them corrupted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1783757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
