    Hello,
    I made an Ubuntu update a few minutes ago and now i can't login anymore. After i typed in my password i get to a new screen and it says: Oh, no! Something has gone wrong. A problem occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again.
    I tried restarting my mac and ubuntu but nothing works.
    Any suggestions?

    After a long session i found the issue's. For anyone having this problem: get to the login screen and press ctrl + alt + F5 (if it doesn't work disable F1 F2 keys in keyboard -> keyboard shortcut settings in systemsettings on Mac. Then login with your username(default parallels) and password. Then execute journalctl -xb -p 3 to read logfiles. For me this was the fix:
    sudo apt reinstall gdm3 ubuntu-desktop
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
    sudo apt reinstall gnome-keyring libpam-gnome-keyring
    sudo pam-auth-update (then press esc to get out of the screen)
    sudo apt reinstall libpam-modules
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt --fix-broken install
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    sudo apt full-upgrade
    sudo reboot

    If this doesn't work feed your errors DeepSeek ai. And after you fixed ur error enable smart guard in your VM settings in Parallels
