problem with ubuntu booting

Question

I guess I ran some command trying to install something. After that, when I tried to restart my PC, it showed

error while reading block run fsck manually

which I did. After that, it was stuck in blackscreen with blinking cursor. So I installed gdm3 after login after I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2. Now it is stuck in a login loop.

I also installed lightdm and checked permission of xauthority file and /tmp file. All are fine. Also tried creating own xauthority but still it's in login loop. When I run a command to check which desktop manager is installed, at the end it shows

gkr-pam unable to locate daemon control file

I also ran startx I guess I ran

sudo add-apt-repository "*deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install adobereader-enu*

These commands after which, all problem started.

please with solution also explain how and why the problem started — Subham Sahoo, Dec 08 '20 at 19:16
Does this answer your question? Ubuntu 18.04 booting in console mode even after reinstalling drivers — Raffa, Dec 08 '20 at 20:22

When I rarely have a linux or Windows computer that won't boot I pull out my Boot Repair CD. It is downloadable in ISO format to be burned to CD. Then you boot from it. It fixes the boot software automatically. (I use Linux Mint. I used Boot Repair a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember what caused the boot error. It fixed the boot process.)
