I updated my Ubuntu to 15.10 (Wily werewolf).

Presently, the screen shows:

Ubuntu 15.10 Karaktah7 ttyl

Karaktah7 login:_

I set up the name of the computer as Karaktah7. But how can I can get in?

You enter your user name to the login: prompt and press Enter.

Then it will ask for your Password: and you enter that password. Confirm with Enter again.
Note that the password input is silent, that means no characters (not even *) will be displayed while you type.

Now you have a console login. It's simply a terminal, no GUI.
As that's probably not what you want, you now have the chance to investigate the cause of your problem why the GUI login screen (lightdm) does not show up.

A good way to start would probably be to run sudo systemctl start graphical.target (command to load the full GUI including login screen for releases using systemd) and observe whether it outputs any error messages.
