After since I cancelled the updates in the last stage (making changes to database<setting AppArmour>) and hard-rebooting my laptop with ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) is stuck at the startup screen :- The screen just before the username/password prompt with blinking dots. I have tried to run the previous versions but with no help.

I can't even login to terminal.

Please help; I don't want to reinstall or loose my data.

Edit:- I've been able to drop to the root shell from the recovery mode; is there a way I can get the things normal?

Any help is much appreciated.

I recently had a similar problem - in my case, the .profile file had become corrupted. Move this to .profile_old and try logging in again. The only other problem I am aware of that can cause this is a bad Xorg conifguration - you might check that that's all correct too if the first suggestion doesn't help.
