Linux Tips: Input/Output Error (Linux mint) If you're suddenly getting Input/Output Error (under Linux Mint) when opening some apps but not when trying others (& your partition is not readonly), try to remember if you'd updated anything (using Update Manager) when you'd previously logged in. If you did, try the following steps: (1) go into GRUB's recovery mode (if you can't get a terminal on desktop mode), get a root prompt. (2) Enter password for root prompt. (3) Look under /var/log/synaptic/history.log (or similar) // Purge every update that's installed when you'd last logged in (during last boot) (4) # apt-get --purge remove [name of update] (5) $ apt-get clean (6) reboot -- Else, you could have a failing hdd. Good Luck.
