I was trying to get my Jabra earbuds to work. Installed blueman
for help. Now when I switch on my computer, it takes me straight to command line.
So far I have tried the following:
Still when I boot it goes straight to command line.
I also get the following messages:
Failed to start studio system CPU governor setting.
Failed to start service for snap application cups.cups-browsed.
Failed to start service for snap application cups.cupsd
I can't ping anything. I can't update or reinstall Ubuntu.
Not really sure how to fix this. Any ideas?
Tried to access the /var/log/apt/history.log
as requested by user535733 below, but I get the message access denied. Tried again as root with sudo
, still denied access.
apt-get update
gives the following:
E:Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open 13: permission denied
E: unable to open lock directory var/lib/apt/lists
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin Remove aches 13 permission denied
W: problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkcache.bin RemoveCaches 13 permission denied
I managed to access the logs folder but I'm not sure which file is relevant here. It contains the following files, some of which have the same filename but multiple versions so I've put numbers in brackets:
alternatives.log.(1:12).gz
apport log.(1:7).gz
auth.log.(1:4).gz
boot.log.(1:7).gz

btmp.1

I couldn't find a way to fix this so I ended up installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu 22.4.01
