After running the commands that @juliank recommended on 2 Sep and fixing the errors I received and posted above, I ended up in a situation where the UI didn't work. I couldn't log on to the terminal either. It requested my password, and I introduced it, but I got in a loop. After validating the password and giving a success message, it asked for the password again.
I didn't know how to fix this situation. Fortunately, I had a backup copy of the disk. So, I decided to install Ubuntu 24 from a pen drive formatted with the corresponding ISO file. See "Install Ubuntu desktop" (https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview). It is not an optimal solution, and it may not be an option if you cannot back up everything. But it worked for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2078485 Title: The package 'update-manager' is marked for removal but it is in the removal deny list.
