Issue: After a reboot, the boot process drops to the BusyBox shell and I end up at the Initramfs prompt:


BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs)


Cause: 1. Unexpected powerloss and shock to the harddisk in a some way example charging a device while system being shutdown and causing bad superblock in system.

Solution:
Firstly, boot into a live CD or USB

Find out your partition number by using

sudo fdisk -l|grep Linux|grep -Ev 'swap'

Then, list all superblocks by using the command:

sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 | grep superblock

Replace "sda2" to your drive number

Now, to check and repair a Linux file system using alternate superblock # 32768:

sudo fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda2 -y

The -y flag is used to skip all the Fix? questions and to answer them all with a yes automatically

Now try mounting the partition:
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

Now, try to browse the filesystem with the following commands:

cd /mnt mkdir test ls -l cp file /path/to/safe/location

If you are able to perform the above commands, you have most probably fixed your error.

Now, restart you computer and you should be able to boot normally.

Use apt-file search to check broken libraries belongs to which file?

X11 /extensions /Xcomposite.h No such file or directory
http://askubuntu.com/questions/801252/ddg#900768

Whenever a compile fails with a missing file simply leverage the infrastructure to search for the missing ubuntu package

apt-file search some_missing_file_goes_here # cmd 1
apt-file search X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h # cmd 1

which returns with

libxcomposite-dev: /usr/include/X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h

so solution is to install that missing package

sudo apt-get install libxcomposite-dev # cmd 2

this technique works across any missing file

On a fresh OS if you issue

apt-file search X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h

it will fail with error

The program 'apt-file' is currently not installed. To run 'apt-file' please ask your administrator to install the package 'apt-file'

which just means you need to do a one time setup of the local search cache so just run

sudo apt-get install apt-file -y
sudo apt-file update

now re-issue the search shown above (cmd 1) then install package (cmd 2)
