I updated my Ubuntu to 15.10 (Wily werewolf).
Presently, the screen shows:

I set up the name of the computer as Karaktah7. But how can I can get in?

You enter your user name to the login:
prompt and press Enter.
Then it will ask for your Password:
and you enter that password. Confirm with Enter again.
Note that the password input is silent, that means no characters (not even *
) will be displayed while you type.
Now you have a console login. It's simply a terminal, no GUI.
As that's probably not what you want, you now have the chance to investigate the cause of your problem why the GUI login screen (lightdm) does not show up.
A good way to start would probably be to run sudo systemctl start graphical.target
(command to load the full GUI including login screen for releases using systemd
) and observe whether it outputs any error messages.
getent passwd 1000 | cut -d: -f1
. Run it after the mount
and before the passwd
command described in the linked guide.
