Hello, Following your email, I attempted to get terminal log-in screen using ctrl+alt+F2 but, on each attempt, got a window informing that "System is running in low graphic mode. Your screen, graphic card, input devices could not be detected correctly. You'll have to configure these manually" providing various recovery options after pressing "ok" button at the bottom of the window, but none of the option worked and system seemed in the same loop. Surprisingly, during these attempts two or three times system booted normally without any problems but most of the attempts got failed. Lastly I used Ctrl+Alt+F1, that gave me log-in screen and finally I successfully logged-in and created journal.txt. Please note, while creating journal.txt, screen used to get blank continuously after few seconds and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 kept on refreshing the screen.
Please see the attached journal.txt, hope this is what you required. Thanks and regards, Naz Ahmed. > Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:50:40 +0000 > From: martin.p...@ubuntu.com > To: nazahme...@hotmail.com > Subject: [Bug 1509762] Re: After upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10, Systemd fail to > boot > > That sounds like the sddm display manger crashes on startup.
