I just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 and i kept getting stuck at the splash screen. I turned off quiet splash and it seems to be hanging after "Restoring resolver state..."

The only solution I've been able to find is to re-install Ubuntu, but i really do not want to have to do that!

Any ideas?

I have still not solved this issue and it is quite frustrating. Is there something I can do to give more information?

Okay I finally fixed it, here's what I did (I have an AMD gfx card):

1) Boot into GRUB and press E to edit the configuration for Ubuntu, add the word "text" after "quiet splash" then click Ctrl+X - this boots you into the command line.

2) Update - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

3) Force removal of AMD drivers - /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh --force

4) Re-install drivers - sudo apt-get -f install
