Cant login to tty on ubuntu 20.04, login incorrect and cant go to recovery

us flag

Probably /var does not have free space. It had happened before that I needed to empty /var. That is why it prompts to tty when it starts. I can't log in normally.

It says after the prompt,

`/dev/nvme0n1p5: clean 203241/4063232 files 1974099/16250112 blocks`

It does not change. I restarted lots of times but always is the same numbers.

And, I cant cancel when I press Ctrl + C on the first screen. It immediately goes to that screen.

I put my username and password in any tty tty3 for example but it does not accept. Maybe I don't know my username. How can I see my username?

I can't even go to recovery mode on my HP laptop. I tried f11 f12 shift but it always goes to Ctrl + C and then clean the block writing :(

I used f11 to go to recovery mode but it goes that tty screen again. Please help.

FIXED

I did this and it seems to work: https://askubuntu.com/a/1279814/1566911 sudo apt install --reinstall gnome gdm3 and then rebooted. now I am on my desktop. it showed Ctrl + C but it passed it quickly. Now I restarted 2 times and it seems no problem. Any suggestions? Why did I have this error? How can I go back to a normal desktop? I mean when I do Ctrl + tab, I can see only one chrome tab despite there being 3.

You have to enter your user name, not your name! If you cant still login even after entering your username then login as root. In the uername column enter `root` and in password column, enter your sudo password

You can boot to Recovery Mode ( from this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/24024/1158038) and then you have bash, so you can chenge your username or password or clear /var.

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.
