My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
Some time ago (2 weeks) I ran apt-get upgrade. When complete I turned off the computer. I was on vacation. When I returned I noticed that my computer will not boot. During normal startup displays a black screen and the upper left corner blinking "_" character.
I tried to run the recovery mode from GRUB. Instead, the console displays the following screen view:

...init: Failed to spawn friendly-recovery pre-start process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
When I started in normal mode, changing the parameter 'quiet splash' to 'nomodeset', I saw the following view:

Please advice how can I fix this problem, I'm new to Linux. I have no idea what I could do. On various forums I found similar problems but no effective solution. Configuration of the new station will take me a long time due to the nature of my work.
I'm working on Ubuntu Desktop 11.10
