My Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't boot properly. When I power up my laptop I am presented to Grub menu (though I am able to boot from recovery mood but in this way laptop's performance gets compromised). If I choose *Ubuntu these characters : ^[[5~ fill a black screen in a rapid succession. Then comes a 'vibrating' Ubuntu logo with so many entries like,

*starting send an event to indicate plymouth is up [ok]
*starting read required files in advances [ok]
*stopping userspace bootsplash [ok]
....

and it goes for forever but if I press "Esc" before filling up my that black screen by ^[[5~ I am directed to my desktop.

What is the problem? How can I fix it? I just want my desktop after power up as before.

PS : Even worse LiveCD of Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't show welcome screen. It shows advanced screen where I have to choose language. Even after that I get "stdin : not a typewriter" error and a vibrating screen. In short, I am not able to boot from a LiveCD either. :'|

I suggest you try using USB stick and depending on distro, some software for writing the image to it. In ubuntu go for Statup disc creator or unetbootin. You can also try the dd method(read from this thread).

Startup disk creator works with cd/dvd also so give it a try.

I am grateful to everyone for their help and apologies for responding late. Thanks friends!

The problem was actually hardware related. I had got "STICKY KEYS". I changed my Laptop's keyboard and now everything is back to normal. Thanks once again. :)
