Pls run your system in "Recovery mode" and fix any broken issues and reboot and see whether it works or not.I think you have problem with the video driver and it might not installed properly as you said u had error message during upgrade.Do a back up with live media before going further so u r safe from losing data.

  • Please can u elaborate how to fix broken issues.I also think its a problem with nvidia graphic cards .After having read various forum posts i tried sudo lightdm and l0 and behold i got through to the login screen and could boot into the dektop but when i try the normal method of reboot or power off and boot it still hangs at the splash screen.
