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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432171 Title: [udev] Shows "starting version 219" boot message even with "quiet" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1432171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
