This has happened to me once before, but doing
fsck /dev/mapper/trisquel--vg-root
Fixed it back then. This time when I try it I get an error2 error, file not found. There's nothing in that folder now except a file called control that I can't do anything with.
I really need this laptop for school and work, I'm typing this on my phone now.
Please help me. I don't know what to do to repair this.

Can't you access your data through a live system (and back them up!)?
I might be able to. I can boot xbuntu successfully and access the drive from xbuntu, but not my home folder, so I'd really like to get this fixed.
I'm trying different solutions but they are not working and producing weird results. I don't know what to do.
After 3 years of service my Trisquel install has stopped booting and instead gets stuck at a busybox prompt.

There is nothing special about the install other than that I am using LUKS, but Trisquel set that up for me. I put xbuntu on a thumbdrive and booted from that so I could try things from this guide:

Using fsck on the drive and its partitions only made it return the version number of fsck.

Using mke2fs on the drive and its partitions seeminly worked a couple partitions but one of them have a superblock error.

I used the backup superblocks it says it has, but it says those have "bad magic numbers" and I don't have any idea what that means anymore.

It looks like the disk is dying: that has little to do with Trisquel.

Do you realize you are formatting your partitions? Do you have a recent backup of your data? Do you actually want to recover data (if so, using 'mke2fs' is not the way to go!)?
Until you buy a new disk you can use a live system (to work on the data you backed up... right?). If you want to recover data, try PhotoRec (that you can install in a live system).
I specifically tried unmounting all the partitions, but it says nome of them are mounted. So I don't know how I can get an error saying it's in use. I'm stuck here.
root@xubuntu:~# e2fsck -f /dev/sda5
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/dev/sda5 is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
Is there some other way the disk can be in use when it's not mounted?
Anyone? Please?
The reason you can't check your file system according to the instructions uboot gave you is because there is a LUKS volume located at /dev/sda5. You need to unlock it first, by running "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 whatever" (or the the mapper name you chose). It will then be mapped to "/dev/mapper/whatever (again, depends on which name you chose for the mapper). You can then run "fsck /dev/mapper/whatever" in order to fix file system issues.
