Xubuntu 14.04 partial update hangs on boot

Question

I did a partial update on my Xubuntu 14.04 desktop box. When I boot up, it hangs at the "checking disk drive for errors," screen. I am able to SSH into the machine, but I have no idea what to do from here.

How to recover an interrupted 12.04 upgrade from 11.10? or Power failure during upgrade may work. I recommend these techniques to start. If you try installing a metapackage, then after sudo apt-get update (run that before any of the above techniques, while you're connected to the Internet), instead of installing ubuntu-desktop, you should use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (as you have Xubuntu). And this may help. — Eliah Kagan, Sep 10 '14 at 00:24
Tried those solutions. It didn't seem to work at all. I'm still stuck at the "checking disc drive for errors," screen. I can still SSH in though. — Benjamin, Sep 14 '14 at 00:11

solution was something complety silly. I had to remove my AMD video card. It boots fine now using the integrated Intel Graphics.
