i upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 Wily to the 16.04 LTS that was offered by my ‘software updater’ . Everything seemed to go fine. Then when it was finished with the rather long upgrade it restarted my computer. Now my computer only loads the Ubuntu Mate desktop background image and nothing else. I can’t …

It’s working now!! :grin: I did the upgrade again but with one difference…the first time when it asked me if i wanted to remove outdated packages i said ‘no’, but this time i said ‘yes’. That was it…works like a charm now. Those packages must have conflicted with the upgraded system.
