I would have stayed with 16 but I need the updated compiler and I also need to be on the same version as everyone else.
Upgraded to 17.04 as the system seemed to want to do that upgrade first.
On reboot the login screen froze. No mouse and no keyboard. No ability to switch to a terminal screen.
Booted to console via the recovery system.
Made the filesystem writable:
mount -o remount,rw /
Follow the following (pick your section) to change grub boot up to console only.
I tried the usual nomodset no luck... part of the issue is that the laptop I have has an Intel GPU and a NVIDIA one, for some reason this always causes issues on installation and upgrade.
Updated to 18 on the command line
After the update (editing of grub for console again for text mode login) system boots.
X11 starts with the usual startx command.
This gives you the ability to use a browser, which is easier than typing in commands listed on the screen of another device,
Configure NVIDIA drivers (the tested ones).
Blacklist the nouveau device:
# cat << END > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf blacklist nouveau blacklist vga16fb blacklist rivafb blacklist nvidiafb blacklist rivatv blacklist amd76_edac options nouveau modeset=0 END # update-initramfs -u # reboot

Now need to figure out the grub boot line for graphical login. At least startx still works.
Additional notes to look at:
