I run a desktop with Ubuntu. After the grub and login, the screen goes black with the mouse visible. I have tried all the suggestions in the related posts with no success. When I try to install ubuntu-desktop or apt-get install -f I get a long list of messages 'such and such package but it is not going to be installed', ending with
"unable to correct problem, you have packages held broken".
I do not want to loose the near 1TB in various data in the disk with a radical solution like reinstalling. The disk is about 75% full.
The command
$dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
comes back empty. I only have access to terminal. CTRL-ALT-F7 does nothing.
Who knows what to do?

I take it you have checked you have network access? Have you installed anything out-of-tree or deleted anything? Have you triedapt clean,apt autocleanorapt autoremove?

FYI, a package can be held broken but not stop installation. It may be a red herring.
