When finished with that, continue to normal login. That also will put
you in text mode. However that's normal. Enter your username& password,
then:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade&& sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo update-grub
$ sudo reboot

Boot into the standard kernel (not recovery mode)& see if all is
workiing now.

Kjetil, Noop's suggestion is a good one. But you can also do the above
at text mode without going to recovery mode too, (that is, if you cannot
get to the grub menu to go to the recovery mode).

Actually I've found that the above _sometimes_ works with a standard
text console mode. However, going to recovery mode seems to pull in more
bits.

As an added note: I've a system that is now exhibiting the same exact
same issue. I've dpkg (recovery), boot into standard& get the same etc.
In any event it's not a grub issue... I suspect it is (in my case) a
nouveau video driver issue& will report back when/if I figure it out.

Waiting... "Please hold"... "Please hold... your call is very important
to us"... "Please hold"..

Yep... that was the issue on my system.

$ sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
$ sudo reboot

and the system rebooted just fine.

I of course still have other issues yet to be resolved... but I reckon I
can figure out those now that I can boot back into the updated system :-)


That's what I thought and uninstalled nouveau too, refer my bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537853

But there is a 'sort of' duplicate in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/plymouth/+bug/538524
where this was finally sorted out as a plymouth issue.(by early march)

So I don't recommend you uninstall nouveau. I had a thread in
kubuntu-user list too there. But it's okay to refer to above bug report.

Good luck - Goh Lip
