I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7559, which comes with ubuntu 14.04 LTS pre-installed.

After updating, the software update application gave an error indicating something wrong with my laptop with two options available: update or partial update for as many updates as possible. Running sudo apt-get dist-uprade fixed the issue.

Then I upgraded the Ubuntu to 16.04 LTS. Everything went well but until the installation rebooted and froze at the splash screen saying 'ubuntu....' .

I am new to Ubuntu, so could you please provide answers in a step-by-step manner?

  • So, does it hangs now on the splash screen? If it is, then if you try in Grub (the menu on startup, might be disabled thoug, then just hold shift whilst PC is starting, the menu should appear) to choose an old kernel version, does it fixes anything? – Hi-Angel May 30 '16 at 16:44
  • Doing a fresh install is faster than doing a full-upgrade. Just do a fresh install of xenial (16.04) and let your mind be free of old bugs! – ipse lute May 30 '16 at 17:06
  • This may help you http://askubuntu.com/a/738742/75060 I don't think it is a quite duplicate but rolling back the kernel is a solid suggestion to try. – Mark Kirby Jun 01 '16 at 11:57
