How to Fix Linux Boot stuck at initramfs

Last night I was using linux mint and it was working fine until I rebooted my pc and saw this

And I was like What? What the hell is that? And mint wasn't booting up. So I did what we all do. Yup, Google! And I found this working solution. Now you must be wondering if there is already a solution available on the internet why the hell did you write this post? Mainly because it was all scattered around in pieces and I wanted to put it all together. Now let's fix this.

Why did it happened?

This can happen if you have dual booted linux with windows on an NTFS partition and Windows was Incorrectly shutdown.

How to Fix this

To fix this you need to figure out which drive is corrupted and needs to repaired.

I found this solution on ask ubuntu where he said and I am just gonna quote him "While at initramfs console, I passed a command exit to come out of the shell. The same console was presented before me but this time with the exact name of the partition that got corrupted." 

And that's what I did, I ran the exit and it showed me the drive that was corrupted.

Now all you need to do is run this command

fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root -y 

If you use -y fsck will automatically answer "yes" to all questions.
Now restart your system and you should be able to boot normally. After login update your system and you should be good to go.
