I tried to do a chmod and delete my Pycharm logs. And somehow got in a situation that I can't boot my system.

[FAILED]Failed to start Create Volatile Files and Directories
[FAILED]Failed to start Enable support for additional executable binary        formats

[49.493137] acpi_call: Cannot get handle: Error: AE_NOT_FOUND
[45.515265] acpi_call: Cannot get handle: Error: AE_NOT_FOUND

Opening tty1 with CTRL+ALT+F1. After entering credentials I get:

/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd:39
 /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd: cannot create /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-    
upgrader/release-upgrade-available Directory nonexistent 
usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-fsck-at-reboot: 33: usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-fsck-at-reboot: cannot create usr/lib/update-notifier/fsck-at-reboot: Directory nonexistent
cat: /var/lib/update-notifier/fsck-at-reboot No such file or directiory
run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/98-fsck-at-reboot exited with return code 1

The original problem is still not solved, the same things are present, can’t boot the system. But now after reboot, there is no more error [FAILED]Failed to start Create Volatile Files and Directories, only the second one. I did many things, but I believe that this answer made difference in the first step https://askubuntu.com/a/748350/741547.

After sudo apt -f install I get:

Additional packages will be installed libgtk-3-bin.
Preparing to unpack .../libgtk-3-bin_3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb ...
Adding 'diversion of /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches to /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches.gtk2 by libgtk-3-bin'

dpkg-divert: error: rename involvs overwriting 'usr/sbin/update-icon-caches.gtk2 with different file '/usr/sbin/update-icon-caches', not allowed
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk-3-bin_3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors wew encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk-3-bin_3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb
E. Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

After that, thing I tried to do:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-bin=3.18.6
E: Version '3.18.6-1ubuntu1' for 'libgtk-3-bin' was not found

Then I tried to overwrite with sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk-3-bin_3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb with same error:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk-3-bin_3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors wew encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk-3-bin_3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb

After that in tty1 I type systemctl status binfmt-support.service and I get:

Active: failed (Result:exit code)
Process: 1310 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/update-binfmts --enable (code=exited, status=2)
systemd[1]: Failed to start Enable support for additional executable binary formats

EDIT2:

Now im in the system with Ubuntu USB and have access to all packages. Can i somehow use ubuntu software center for repairing packages ?

    Welcome to [ubuntu.se]! On what resources did you run chmod? I’m afraid it was something like in this case: Why does chmod 777 -R / leave the system unusable? Backup your data and reinstall. – Melebius Dec 10 '18 at 10:14
  • next problem is, after every install : adwaita-icon-theme : Depends: libgtk-3-bin but it is not oging to be installed. And i cant install anything – waltexwq Dec 11 '18 at 07:08
  • Could you tell us how you solved the original problem? And please don’t add another, unrelated problem to the existing question. You can ask a new question but check existing questions dealing with the same error first. – Melebius Dec 11 '18 at 07:31

  • Then please [edit] your question to reflect all the details you posted in comments and add any useful information you can (examples: What was the exact chmod command? Why and how have you run fsck?). It helps to keep our Q&A style tidy and could also bring more attention since an edited question gets bounced on the homepage.

  • Thank you, i did wrote a problem as far as i remeber, this is something i tried over and over, i just forgot a lot of steps. – waltexwq Dec 11 '18 at 08:57
