I have a Dell XPS13 9360 and have been dualbooting 16.04 since last year. Now I wanted to upgrade to 17.04.

Everything went smooth, no hiccups at all until I reboot the system and see the login screen. Then my mouse won't work. And my keystrokes are not registered. So basically I can't log on since I can't type or move the mouse.

ctrl+alt+F1 does nothing since the keyboard is not responding. Well, the Fn button is working.

So is there a fix for this or do I need to format the HDD and start over?

Get to the GRUB menu, and hit the e key (to edit). Using the arrow keys, find the line that contains "quiet splash" and change it to "quiet splash nomodeset". Then hit F10. See if that allows your system to fully boot and allow you to login. You may be in low-graphics mode. If it does allow you to log in, then your video card drivers probably need to be reinstalled.
