Recent day i was faced Recovering journal Error on Ubuntu boot up multiple times in a day, so i was debugged system checked all the system logs to get fixed this issue. And finally i found this problem happens when my system direct shutdown due to some power reason(after all i was fixed power issue by changing power supply) but still Ubuntu showing “recovering journal” error on Ubuntu boot up, because it didn’t write anything to the disk. So after some troubleshoot I’m able to solve this problem

• boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
• start gparted and determine which /dev/sdaX (be sure about your exact Ubuntu system installed partition) is your Ubuntu EXT4 partition (you can use also $ lsblk command)
• quit gparted
• open a terminal window
• type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdaX # replacing X with the number you found earlier
