Hi, sry for being late. I have been using upstart all along. I am happy to say I tried the workaround Ricard suggested and it worked for me:" Did you do CTRL + ALT + F1? and log in? Then, sudo systemctl enable sddm.service -f sudo reboot"
Not sure what this means for things going forward, at least it gets me in. Is there anything I need to do further? -- 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/1431743 Title: fails to boot due to read-ony file system Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have just recently done a sudo apt-get upgrade, noting something about an included 219 update -- after consequent reboot, the system now hangs at starting 219.
