I was trying to install DrRacket for my computer science class, so I went to racket site and it led to this site I copied and pasted these commands from there.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plt/racket
sudo apt update

and I did all the steps for installing it. The installation was successful and racket was working, but after logging out and login it is showing "Oh no! Something went wrong. Contact your administrator"

Searching on internet I came across this, but it still didn't work.

If it is any helpful running tail /var/log/syslog shows this.

enter image description here

I'm sorry if my question was unclear. I meant that my Ubuntu OS shows "Something went wrong" not the racket app. Photo here

@David I don't know the version, I'm new to Ubuntu so I was just copying and pasting commands from internet. I might have pasted something and broken something while installing racket.

Try using ALT + CTRL + F2 you will enter into command line.
Then just enter your administrator username and password. Then just use simple commands like - "sudo apt update" - "sudo apt upgrade -y" - "sudo apt autoremove" (Without colons) Then just restart your computer by either method by manually and or by command line itself "reboot" command.

I also faced this issue. I got this error after opening my laptop after switching it off .First you need to understand where the problem is in order to get rid of it so The problem is in the boot process and there is one thing that is responsible for this and that is the gdm3 (genome display manager) that is responsible for it so, if all other solution does not work like alt +CTRL + F3 OR F2 then what you do is usa a bootable ubuntu and chroot into your system and then bind essential things and update and reinstall the gdm3 or update the wayland or xrog in gdm3 and clear all bindings and reboot into your system and see it if helps . And also I think its not related to your Drracket installation the problem might came from updates
