I updated Ubuntu to 16.04 earlier this week and now I can't even get into the system as I get this text screen on boot.

I've gone through a number of solutions on here, as it appears to be an issue with my Nvidia driver, but I still can't get it to work.

I went and changed the grub file to nomodeset and read I should be able to get an option to select my driver on boot, but I don't get anything. This screen of writing is what comes up first before I get the text screen.

When I go into the command prompt to try install or update anything I keep getting these kind of errors.

    The links are there, that's fine. It appears that you have a problem with DNS. It says there is a temporary failure resolving 5 different addresses over 2 domains (ubuntu.com and google.com) – Elder Geek Nov 06 '16 at 22:09

Run this command 

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

To fix packages problem. then update 

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If it didn't work check this: Answer on: How do I continue configuration if apt-get was interrupted?

Thanks for the reply. I tried the above and it still didn't work. But I managed to get it up and running by simply running the following command.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Why wouldn't this of been installed automatically during the update?
