I upgraded from 17.10 to 18.04 following the prompts and instructions from Software Updater. Everything went smoothly. I could see the background image had changed form the Aadvark to the Beaver, and got the "restart" message. When I hit restart, the familiar Ubuntu purple background and white / red dots appeared but then, instead of opening the OS, I got a page with lots of scrolling text, and eventually it froze. tried rebooting several times: same result. So i went for recovery mode, and it opened ok, but it ìs obviously only recovery mode and I can't get the real thing to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

    go to recovery mode, open a terminal and run command: sudo grep -Pi "(critical|err|fail|fatal)" /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/boot.log. Add the output to your question (as text).

    Edit your question and copy paste the output of that command to your question. And click the Code button {} to make it look nice.

  • The trouble is the output is absolutely MASSIVE. Can't paste it here. How about a word document, can I send / attach that?
