i had the same problem with simply a black screen and 'starting version 219'
This is how i fixed it hope it works for others... I think the problem happened during the orginal update so i rebooted and went into my bootloader (got there by pressing f12 but for some it may be shift'), chose advanced options and loaded an earlier version of ubuntu. Then i did the usual sudo apt-get update && upgrade which fixed the problem. A very simple fix but hopefully it will help others out -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432171 Title: [udev] Shows "starting version 219" boot message even with "quiet" Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Everytime the system is booted up I get a "Starting version 219" which it seems is the version number for systemd. udev version: 219-4ubuntu5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1432171/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
