I Recieved the error after trying to reinstall system packages that the terminal was removing during my upgrade to 21.04, however I noticed that it was the new packages it was deleting so I killed the process halfway through. I was reinstalling the files it deleted and I was greeted with this error.Now I will say that what I did was likely not the smatest thing to do.Just throwing that out there.I am still able to access the console,though I'm struggling to remember my Linux ID to access it.I am mostly looking how to resolve those errors, but if you guys are able to provide a solution to the login problem I will also be grateful for that.Thank you

If you have interrupted the upgrade process, you probably ***can*** fix it, but you might find it much easier to reinstall. If you boot from a live USB and do the TryUbuntu, you can access your disks to backup data before installing just to be sure that your data is not going to be erased.

Okay.Is there a potential way I could get TryUbuntu on my phone and then transfer the data that way? Or will I have to reinstall the software that was on the disk when I fist start the machine?

"Try Ubuntu" is a live session. Meaning: Boot from a USB installation media like you did when you installed the system.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
