I'm not sure if my system will boot. Any suggestions?

forgot to mention that it's actually Kubuntu, I'm running. However:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS"

The system rebooted without problems, though.

These are some of the files actually present:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

These error are harmless as far as I know.
