Hi,
I upgraded my Ubuntu 14.04 to 15.10. Everything went fine but GUI refused to load on reboot. I still had access to virtual terminal, and with a hope that upgrading to 16.04 may solve the problem, I upgraded it. On 16.04, the same problem continued; no GUI.
I still had access to virtual terminal, so I tried some commands suggested on different forums blindly without understanding them, not even bothering to note down them. I purged lightdm, nvidia, installed gdm, set gfxmode to nomodeset, etc etc.
Now, I have lost access even to virtual terminal! Not able to connect to wifi also. When I try to boot, it comes to purple screen and stops there. Pressing ctrl+alt+F2 says "A start job is running for hold until boot process finishes up (*min *s / no limit)".
Please help!!
I am using HP Pavilion dv6 with Intel i3 processor, 2GB RAM, Intel graphic card.
