Please do not post pictures of error messages. Browsers for the blind cannot render them – Chenmunka Feb 17 '24 at 10:18

1@Chenmunka There is no way to copy-paste that message from that screen. While we encourage users to post error messages as text from functional Ubuntu systems, that is simply not possible in this case. – Archisman Panigrahi Feb 17 '24 at 20:14

Run fsck -y /dev/sda5
. Afterwards, run the command exit
to reboot.
The problem occurred because the computer was not properly shut down. Maybe it ran out of battery, or you had to shut it down for some reason, or something else.

You can try repairing your system in the recovery mode for Ubuntu.
To go to the recovery menu select Advanced Options for Ubuntu
in the boot loader.
Then select the recovery mode
option in the next screen, This should open the recovery options.
Select and run the option that says: fsck Check all file systems
You can also try repairing any broken packages using the dpkg
option in the same menu.
