My ASUS 1015E (netbook) has as its OS UBUNTU 14.04.2 LTS (Trusty Tahr). Yesterday, as it ran the weekly updates to the OS and my applications, I lost power, and it died mid-update.

Now I have NO applications listed on the applications panel. I would attempt to rebuild the apt-get package list, but I’m unable to get to a command line.

No matter what I try e.g. holding down shift, holding down Alt+Ctl+F1 (or F2 or F7 or F8 or F12) I can neither get to a command line nor get UBUNTU to boot to a command line.

Does anyone have a helpful suggestion?

    Try ctrl + alt + F1 to get to a command line shell and log in, re build, try the upgrade again, add any errors to your post

Have you tried booting into recovery mode?

Or you can hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get into a virtual console and run commands from there.
