I run a desktop with Ubuntu/LinuxMint17. 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?
