Was working without issue within Ubuntu 18.04 on a dual-boot machine.

Installed a tex ide via the command line:

sudo apt-get install texmaker

which appeared to complete successfully. I subsequently clicked on the first gummi link in a response on this SE page, which lanched a new tab, appeared to be resolving, but never fully resolved after a minute or so. I closed it, launched a new tab and searched, never successfully getting to the page.

I wasn't doing much otherwise, just watching a youtube vid on an adjacent screen and realized my memory was blocked up after getting errors to cd via the command line. I tried a df on my home directory to see what might be causing it and showed most dirs with normal memory allocations, but a huge swapfile, multiple gigs. I tried restarting to clear it, but haven't been able to get back in.

I'd allocated 40GB for the Ubuntu partition, and don't save anything substantial there barring a couple GB movie files in the last couple days, without issue, so I wouldn't expect the recent install of texmaker would have changed things, even at 1GB+. Checking Windows disk manager shows 100% free, not sure whether that's good or bad (partition 5):

Any thoughts on how to diagnose and fix.

Edit (with additional boot detail):
I'm able to boot, select Ubuntu from within the grub dialogue, and ultimately end up on a command-line looking screen with a version of:

/dev/p5 clean 234234/2342234 files, 234234/2324234 blocks

after which it hangs.

Edit 2:
I was able to boot into recovery mode and get to a terminal. fsck, dpkg, and clean all fail to resolve the issue. fsck aborts with '/dev/p5 is mounted, aborting' message.

I've included a picture of the error fsck returns as well as one of ll showing memory use (and the offending swapfile).

  Windows cannot read the contents of Linux partitions, so your result from Windows does not show anything bad. Can’t you boot Ubuntu at all? Please edit your question to add the information what happens if you try to boot Ubuntu.
