I duel booted ubuntu with windows and after deleting the windows partition, get errors on startup. the error are like

[FAILED] Failed to start process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled
[FAILED] Failed to start System Logging service
[FAILED] Failed to start D-Bus system message bus
[FAILED] Failed to start D-bus system message bus
[FAILED] Failed to start user login management.
[FAILED] Failed to start system logging service
[FAILED] Failed to start thermal daemon service.

and this keeps going on forever. it shows the ubuntu option screen when i try to boot to ubuntu it shows the usual "lenovo ubuntu" loading screen. i am using 22.04 jammy jellyfish. i have important files on this computer. i didn't think i needed the windows partition anymore. HOW DO I FIX THIS? more explanation: i already HAD windows on a separate partition, and i installed ubuntu on a smaller partition. after a while, i grew accustomed to ubuntu and no longer wanted windows. so i deleted the windows partition. an hour later i had an issue where i wasn't getting internet access so i restarted. but it wouldn't boot back up. I deleted the windows partition because i wanted to extend the ubuntu partition (i wasn't sure how to yet i was just preparing) because the ubuntu partition was only 70 GB and 400gb were going unused. also btw if this is any help, it shows the ubuntu boot menu and i can attempt to boot into ubuntu it just wont. and also there is a windows boot menu option in the ubuntu boot option thing to see what to do for example, boot into ubuntu, advanced options, etc. im possibly going to try using a flashdrive with ubuntu live session and use "GRUB Repair tool". i'll give updates.

How did you "dual boot" (not "duel boot"? If you installed Ubuntu on a Windows partition... How, exactly, did you "deleting the windows partition"? Please read https://askubuntu.com/help/how-to-ask and https://askubuntu.com/help/formatting

Does this answer your question? [How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)](https://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows)

Same happened with me just now. I went to advance option for Ubuntu and then recovery. Then check dpak and it asked me to download 450+ mb update. I only have wireless connection so I didn't do it now, but you can try that. It should work.

@karel I haven't read that link yet but it doesn't seem to be on topic. i already HAD windows on a separate partition, and i installed ubuntu on a smaller partition. after a while, i grew accustomed to ubuntu and no longer wanted windows. so i deleted the windows partition. an hour later i had an issue where i wasn't getting internet access so i restarted. but it wouldn't boot back up.

also it still shows the ubuntu boot menu, but when i try to get into ubuntu it does the usual text showing the process of it booting but then spams the errors mentioned in the question. example: `[FAILED] Failed to start D-bus system message bus` this just repeats and it never gets into the actual os. i can get into some of the other options shown on the boot menu though. i tried to go to advanced options and then the recovery mode and none of the things shown there did anything to help.

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.
