On Feb. 15, I wrote that I could not reboot a computer that had been updated from v13.2 to v42.2. After communincations, it appeared that I had made a mistake. Now I am not sure I had, because I still have a problem.
I successfully got things working on the original computer (#1), not quite sure how. I have a second one (#2) with nearly identical hardware, and did the same upgrade to it. But the console X display does not come up after a reboot. There is a quick flash of a line of 'login', then a blank screen except for a dash on the top line.
Maybe you can do ctrl-alt-f1 and get a console.

Nouveau? Not nvidia? What did the machine use prior to the upgrade? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
