Log errors:Failed to start Application launched by gnome-session-binary

[apg6xswhjc]

I'm on 20.10 (upgraded from 20.04 etc) and have noticed some errors I hadn't seen before.

I've extracted the following from the log, with the preceding 10 lines of log from each occurence.

I've searched, but have failed to find any possible troubleshooting steps or possible solutions :(

Thanks in advance for any help

Mine works; have some warnings (yellow lines) but not errors (red lines from 'journalctl -b' output.

Be sure to only use 'hirsute' entries inside /etc/apt/sources.list
Avoid non genuine source (ppa, ...); deactivate if needed and downgrade package .
Then clean the system via autoremove/autoclean; and update again and reboot.

I may have misled you. I upgraded months ago, so have already rebooted autoclean/autoremoved etc. I only noticed them in the past few days.

The system boots and works AFAICT, but I dont' know why these errors show, why they happen or how to fix them.
