Whilst attempting to download 16.04.1 it froze 3 hours in and was disrupted as I tried a PC restart. Upon rebooting I'm faced with the black screen in the picture: enter image description here I've no idea what my login is (if I ever had one) or how I can progress back to the desktop. Control Alt F1 or F3 gets nowhere. Any idea's

It's the same as your desktop credentials. Log in and reinitiate your window manager.

To restart the WM on Vanilla Ubuntu 16.04, once you've logged in of course:

  1. sudo service sddm restart
  2. nohup unity --restart

If your machine is stuck on 14.04:

sudo service lightdm restart
