I had a problem today, when I install the lastest updates, including the headers for linux kernel, tha graphical environment did'nt work, so I've tried upgrade the system, but the terminal even doesn't work, after I restart the system under the kernel 3.19.016 and the graphical environments back to work. The question if anybody knows the solution is how can I repair the kernel problem?, or uninstall the update of kernel 3.19.018? By the way, I'm using ubuntu gnome 15.04............

Thanks.

a) boot into recovery mode - preferrably with the old kernel.
b) clean up, i.e remove the new kernel
c) try to ensure that things are ok.
d) reboot

Note that having e.g. Nvidia proprietary drivers may require uninstalling and then reinstalling to make them work again after a kernel update. You might wish to try that first at c), in that case: skip b) and use the new kernel at a)

Easier recovery mode, root prompt: at the recovery mode menu:
1. run the "fsck" option, this will check and then re-mount the filsystems in fstab in r/w mode.
2. enable networking if you need it.
3. drop to root prompt.

I suggest booting with a previous kernel using grub. Then upgrade your kernel to 3.16.0-18. There was a critical bug, that was fixed in that version. If that does not help you can use one of previous versions and report a bug to launchpad.
