Until someone can weigh in on a real solution, I've found booting with an older Kernel works. At boot time, pull up your boot menu (for me, hitting "Esc" or "F9" at the BIOS screen), then select "Ubuntu with Advanced Options" then pick an older Kernel version #.

I had a very similar experience, not sure if it'll help you though. My computer had some updates installed, needed a reboot but hey, nobody got time for that. Well along came a power outage and forced me to reboot. When I turned on my machine, I got just the same message you saw. Crap. I couldn't even get into virtual terminals 1 or 2 either which was really weird. Anyway, I somehow found your post and read that switching the kernel version made everything work. So I went and tried that out and sure enough, what you said applied to me too.
With my primitive knowledge of linux commands, I did get an idea of how to fix this. So I rebooted into the newest kernel, then switched to the virtual terminal ctrl+alt+f3
<- had to use the third because 1 and 2 weren't working. From here I ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
to get everything up to date. Then ran sudo apt-get autoremove
to remove the older kernels. Then I re-installed the current kernel (get the version from uname -r
) and then I ran sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-4.13.0-32-generic
to reinstall the current kernel and rerun all the building of things that might not have been run since I didn't switch to this kernel properly. Finally, I restarted again.
After the restart I was having the same problem still. Welp, maybe it has to do with my graphics drivers? So I went ahead and purged my nvidia drivers sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
and reinstalled the drivers sudo apt-get install nvidia-387
~ Granted, I don't know what version of their driver I should be using, nvidia afik doesn't have just a standard package that you can install that follows the latest - but this one installed just fine for me... After that super slow install, I restarted again.
And my computer came back to life. Woohoo. I genuinely hope this helps someone. It took me 4 hours of frustrated pounding to get my desktop back and I really hope I can save someone else from that. Thanks for your post and your update, you gave me the lead that I needed to solve this for myself.

It really seems that nvidia drivers are causing this issue. After purging nvidia I could get on my desktop and use the generic display driver that linux provides.

Though in my case neither booting with an older kernel nor the nvidia driver could solve it... it just turned out my disk had run full (as I saw with df
). I could delete files by booting into recovery mode and from then on boot normally again :)
I hope this hint is useful to anyone stuck in this situation

Until someone can weigh in on a real solution, I've found booting with an older Kernel works. At boot time, pull up your boot menu (for me, hitting "Esc" or "F9" at the BIOS screen), then select "Ubuntu with Advanced Options" then pick an older Kernel version #.
