Is it my MSI laptop? or
What is the cause of me no longer being able to go online?
I suspect it's my Laptop, as Windows is also affected with no online connection.
If it is my computer, is there a remedy?, or would I need to buy a new laptop?
If the latter, are there any UK web sites that have Linux pre-installed that have MX Linux pre-installed?, or another Linux distro that would enable me to multiple boot or overwrite with MX Linux?
Attempting to find answers on my Smartphone to re-enable going online with my Laptop, nothing works or it's too complex to follow.
If a New laptop is the best and quickest option, I'll do this, but if I do, I'd prefer to buy one from a UK business, to save on postage, and which allows PayPal, especially if buying from a business I've never purchased from before.
I can access my documents and anything Already downloaded, but can't go online for general surfing, downloading, nothing with my Laptop.
I'm being asked:
Authentication is required to mount my device, which is in the Linux directory sda1.
I've pulled out of this, in case Mounting anything is best avoided at this stage.
Above those details, the Terminal states
Found a dog partition table in /dev/sda
sudofsck /dev/sdz
Bad magic number in super-block
fscl.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open/dev/sda
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap of us of something else), then the superbly is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device
