Multiple service failures during boot - fresh install

Ryzen5600X
Nvidia RTX 3060
Secure Boot: off

During boot I have multiple service failures (as shown) with no indication on what to do... This is with "quiet splash" replaced with "nomodeset"

Dual booted with Win11 (this works fine as far as it seems)

What am I missing?

The failures seem to begin at d-bus.
What is your terminal output for:

journalctl -b -u dbus.service --no-pager

Unknown group "power" in message bus configuration

Yes... Zorin OS does not include a group named "power." Have you installed then removed any software prior to this that might have introduced that configuration?
While not ideal, you could simply create a "power" group to satisfy that.
Or remove that group from the configuration in /etc/dbus-1

No software additions or uninstalls, it is a fresh install off the 18.1 iso from the site. I have created the power group just to see, but now it just fails with:

dbus.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

I will try another reinstall from a fresh iso again, but not super hopeful...

Actually, I think this is a safe idea to try. A fresh install can work wonders.
Because this looks like a configuration issue and if it is a new install - reinstalling is the best first thing to try.

Well, fresh install of the 18 iso did the trick in the end. I don't fancy trying again with 18.1 to replicate, but could possibly be the culprit

Thank you for your assistance
