V 16.2 Core Won't Boot After Wine Uninstall

So, I installed Wine with the Software installer. Then I found out my Windows 10 VM in Boxes was trashed. Then I uninstalled Wine. Then I shutdown Zorin.

On reboot, After the Zorin splash screen I'm at CL.

Now what?

You have a lot of Updates not done.

When you have uninstalled Wine, how did you do that? Graphical or over the Command Line?

But when You are on the Command Line Interface like on Your Screenshot, try the Command sudo apt install zorin-os-desktop gdm3

That Command should install the Zorin Core Edition Desktop and the Login Screen.

Hmm ... that doesn't look too good. I have some Ideas, but I hope You have some Backup's of Your Data. If not, You could crate a bootable USB Stick with Zorin on it and start it. then use the Files Program on it to come to Your System and copy as much as You can.

But for Your current Screen try the following Command: sudo apt --fix-broken install

The unmet dependencies list got shorter after auto remove.

The dependencies problem can in most cases be solved if you update your system first.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

After update upgrade, same unmet dependencies after install

This looks like you tried to install Wine for a different build (e.g. Focal vs. Jammy) than the one in use on your installed distro (Jammy).

My installed distro was Focal. No idea what happened, but can't spend any more time on this - had to reinstall. I did get my data out.

Thanks for all the help guys.

How many o's in sudo. typo?

Sometimes, singing the command helps the system to give it preferential treatment.

(Corrected the typo above).
