I have dual boot system with Windows 10 & Ubuntu. Recently updated my Ubuntu to version 16.04 LTS. Ever since when i boot it it gets stuck in emergency mode, telling me to hit Ctrl+D to try again or login as root.

Ctrl+D Gets me to the same mode again after few minutes.

After some google research, i've disabled hibernation entirely in windows 10 (Which makes fast startup option also disabled)

And still no luck. Tried shutting windows 10 with shutdown /s /t 5 - didn't help also.

What can i do? beside reinstalling earlier Ubuntu version.

BTW, Windows 10 was installed in legacy mode and not UEFI

Thanks

And this is why, IMHO, you should always clean-install and not upgrade :) – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Nov 14 '16 at 20:41
Maybe so. but i understand this is a common issue when dual-booting windows 10 & ubuntu 16.04, regardless of how the latter was installed. (Didn't found any common answer, though :| ) – Adiel Nov 14 '16 at 20:42
Nah, Windows 10 isn't what caused the upgrade to fail, especially since it was installed in Legacy mode... – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Nov 14 '16 at 20:43
Ok, maybe you have some useful advice though? :\ – Adiel Nov 14 '16 at 20:45
If you enter emergency mode, what is the result of journalctl -xb? – Kaz Wolfe Nov 14 '16 at 20:52

a VERY VERY long output. not sure how to read it or what to search for over there – Adiel Nov 14 '16 at 20:54
Android Dev - No sdb in my case. only sda – Adiel Nov 14 '16 at 20:55
@Adiel - Then use the correct block for your partition – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Nov 14 '16 at 20:58
