Nope, but if you phoned in to the garage to have your truck fixed, would
you describe the problem in as infinitessimal degree as you have here?

That "heap of text" is there to provide information. We cannot help without
some of that information.
By the way, who installed Ubuntu for you? 

Note-- you did remember to make backups didn't you? What you have may be a
hard disk failure.

(And yes, I do believe this is a troll.)
