Just two days ago (Jun 18, 2019), I was prompted to allow a routine Ubuntu update. After update finished and reboot, I'm no longer able to boot into Ubuntu. Specifically, I was taken to the Grub screen, select 'ubuntu', then face a purple screen, nothing happens afterward.

There's this thread, addressing I think the same issue. My question is :

Is it possible to roll back the Intel microcode change without doing what is suggested there,

sudo apt-get install intel-microcode=3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1

Reason this is not possible is, in terminal mode, I have no access to internet.

You need any System with internet access. Direkt download link intel-microcode_3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1_amd64.deb 64-bit

or for 32-bit intel-microcode_3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1_i386.deb

Save the file to an usb-stick. boot your bionic in recovery-mode. Make sure /-partition in mount rw. mount -o remount,rw / mount the usb-stick and install the package directly with dpkg
