This is what I get at start. Just promoted to login. Since my username didn't work, I tried root and it worked.

Looks like something went wrong during installation. It says it can not locate the Ubuntu installation

They've been ignored...

>>57396206
Or maybe you are not connected to the Internet?

>>57396206
Says it can't locate a new version of Ubuntu.
Can I get back into the GUI somehow?
I dualboot with windows, should I download Ubuntu a new?

>linux

>>57396180
sudo dpkg --configure -a
that's what it says

>>57396214
I should be. Can I check it somehow? Can I connect to internet through this terminal if not?

>>57396241
ping 8.8.8.8
to check.

'ifconfig' for interface information

>Can I get back into the GUI somehow?
Ubuntu users everyone

>>57396250
When I check ifconfig my inet adress is only the local 127.0.0.1
If I am not connected to the internet, how do I fix this?

>>57396274
If it doesn't show the other adapter, it might be missing a driver, which is a pain to fix. Can you use a different NIC (perhaps some old PCI NIC in a drawer or a USB adapter you have somewhere)

>upgraded Ubuntu
This is why you don't use unstable shit. Install Arch next time.
Just do a fresh install if you are too new to install something better. Upgrades on non rolling release distros often fuck shit up.

>>57396267
I'm new to Linux/Gnu....

Tried pinging 8.8.8.8 and it says unreachable. Seems like I need to get connected to da webz. But how?

>>57396292
Get ethernet cable and plug it in. Honestly just do fresh install, you will save yourself a lot of time.

Fresh install is the only way, friend

>>57396240
This. Reconfigure all packages. That normally helps in situations like this.

What happens when you type
startx

That normally brings up the gui.

Black screen only when startx at first.
Then I get pic related.

>>57396370
Could it be because I logged on as root? I can't find my god damn username to login with...

>>57396392
You can try 'cat /etc/passwd', that should list all users.
Reset the password with 'passwd <username>'

Well it and apt-get says none because you're not connected to the internet, faggot.

>>57396180
Switch to an OS that's less horribly broken. Maybe OSX or Windows.

If you must keep on with the amateur kludgefest that is desktop Linux, just back up your data and fresh install. Way quicker than trying to fix that fucked installation.

>>57396492
>>57396511
Or he can

apt-cache search linux-image 

Pick the one you want

sudo apt-get install <linux-image-your_version_choice>

I love you both. I got all my files and all now. But the drawer isn't there. Looks like this now.
What can I do from here?

sudo apt-get purge X11
sudo apt-get auto-remove
sudo apt-get install whatever package your DE is called.

>>57396571
You need to backup your files and reinstall. It's not worth trying to fix that. The system's state is completely fucked.

>>57396571
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
might be worth trying

>>57396180
install gentoo

>>57396571
Just install a newer kernel and you're good. Quite likely that your packages are all messed up due to your kernel not updating to 4.4 after your upgrade.
But regardless of the system state back up ALL your data.

>mfw edgy linux hakker kidz encounter problems with their bloated toy linux and they can't come up with other solutions than to do fresh reinstall

Why are you running kernel 3.x on Ubuntu 16.04?

Restarted and plugged in ethernet cable, then I ran sudo apt-get update and now shit happens. Will update what happens!

>>57396180
Upgrade is the worst option for both Windows and Linux. Always use an ISO to format your drive and clean install so you can properly update and latest drivers are installed.

>>57396624
Did you even read the thread? Clearly the guys helped OP find a solution that at least allowed him to backup his stuff. Now he's trying to update his kernel and maybe stuff will work just fine after.

>>57396678
godspeed, OP

Time for a full reinstall or?
How do I get it ti boot from tty1?

>>57396827
Hmm...
sudo apt-get autoremove (this will erase nearly every package)
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Haven't tried this though

>>57396180
Systemd(icks) happened.

>>57396827
Boom, I am back in after running the sudo apt-get update and then installing the new kernel 4.4.0.
Why is botnet amazon still here? :(

>>57396827
>>57396855
sudo apt autoremove will remove the 'old incompatible' packages not the newly installed ones.

OP needs to run it.

>>57396886
Op you good now?

>>57396855
Going to autoremove and reinstall again to see if I can get it up and running a bit better..

>>57396927
RIP OP?

>>57396192
I laughed way too hard at this.

>ever not shitting itself on updates

>>57396180
Oh boy.

I wouldn't recommend upgrading a distro, not even Windows. Always best to do a clean install of the new build.

Bricked my Ubuntu install by upgrading, rather than doing a clean install.

I have a 4chan pass

This thread really hurt me internally. This was definitely an issue that should have been resolved on IRC. If you have tech support trouble, join #techsupport on irc.snoonet.org

Everything went well, I can shitpost.
Managed to update the kernel to 4.4 and I also removed the unused and old packages. Now it works really nice again.

Now it's time to start having some fun with customization etc.

Worst part is that I also encrypted my phone with Cyanogenmod 13 this morning. Had to wipe the shit. Piece of crap Pajeetware...

I thought that Ubuntu had get rid of Amazon from 16.04, dissapoint.

Actually considering switching to Linux Mint.

>>57398571
what

>>57398579
install xubuntu.

>>57398579
You do know you can just uninstall that right?

>>57396227
To start the X server:

startx

If you get an error, google it.
