I tried updating my Dell XPS13 DE (9343) to Ubuntu 16.04 by using the below commands :
sudo update-manager -d
Basically followed this blog post : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts
It errored out in between and now my machine would neither restart nor shutdown. Tried updating /etc/default/grub without any help. Please help!
Sorry I could not copy the error during upgrade, but for the below command now I get the error:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Update
The screen got locked after sometime, and each time I enter password it was coming back to the same enter password page. So I did a hard restart ( by long pressing power button)
Now once I start the laptop is stuck in splash screen and the caps lock is blinking constantly.
Please note that I do not care about the data. I want to bring the laptop back to working condition.
