Had used auto-remove to remove boostlib (1.58) libraries from my system, removed the old shared boost libraries from my /usr/lib/x86... folder then built and installed boostlib 1.63 from source. This lead to many programs not running due to missing links shared libraries from the recently uninstalled boostlib 1.58.
One program hung, and I restarted the system at which point this message flashed briefly before just staying indefinitely at the famous black screen with a blinking cursor.

/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: clean, 3690696/30105600 files, 99487076/120399872 blocks
I tried:
- Using boot-repair via a Live Disk to repair grub, and went through the whole process, it did not change anything.
- Booting to an earlier kernel, it did not work.
- Via recovery, using fsck - it hangs after "[OK] Reached Target Swap"
- Via recovery, dpkg to repair any broken packages, it tried to update 14 libraries but failed to connect though it's connected through ethernet. "Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'" for all packages it tried to grab.
- Via recovery, failsafeX in case it's a gfx issue - didn't work.
Any specific suggestions would be appreciated, have gone through the "blinking cursor" related links with not much luck.
