I just updated my ubuntu server 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS via apt-get do-release-upgrade.

There haven't been any error messages but after the reboot, no login prompt appears. Just a black screen, sometimes with a blinking cursor on the top left.

Nevertheless login via ssh and LAN still works perfectly.

Any ideas what could have happened and how I could solve it?

Had the same issue (well, exact same symptoms anyway) with the upgrade, in my case dpkg apparently had a hickup sometime during the process.

This was easily fixed by running

sudo dpkg --configure -a

on the command line (you can get to a console via Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login).

Resolved the issue, and installation appeared to be in perfect shape afterwards.
