startup problem with 15.04

Question

After loading up 15.04 my laptop boots to the login screen and, when I enter my login code, it cycles back to the beginning of the boot process.

Any ideas how to fix this - I have no access to the Internet or any of my files !!!

Open a tty like @Elder Geek suggested. Are there any errors displayed there? If not check if your partitions are mounted right with lsblk. — Pabi, May 01 '15 at 02:08

Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 on your keyboard.

On the screen that appears, type in your username and password.

That logs you in. Next, run the command sudo apt-get update.

And then try to restart it afterward.

This is not an answer, this is should be posted as a comment. – Pabi May 01 '15 at 02:07

@Allkill It seems unlikely this would help, as stated. Do you mean to also run sudo apt-get upgrade? By itself, sudo apt-get update only updates the locally stored information about what software is available to be updated and installed. – Eliah Kagan May 01 '15 at 05:18
@Pabi No, even as originally written, this was an answer, not a comment. Answers that don't explain themselves enough, give only partial solutions, or are wrong are much, much worse as comments than as answers. I recommend against advising newcomers that such posts would be considered appropriate as comments, as there is a strong community consensus that they are not. – Eliah Kagan May 01 '15 at 16:53
