[Naz Ahmed <nazahmed88@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Following your email, I attempted to get terminal log-in screen using
ctrl+alt+F2 but, on each attempt, got a window  informing that "System
is running in low graphic mode. Your screen, graphic card, input devices
could not be detected correctly. You'll have to configure these
manually" providing various recovery options after pressing "ok" button
at the bottom of the window, but none of the option worked and system
seemed in the same loop. Surprisingly, during these attempts two or
three times system booted normally without any problems but most of the
attempts got failed. Lastly I used Ctrl+Alt+F1, that gave me log-in
screen and finally I successfully logged-in and created journal.txt.
Please note, while creating journal.txt, screen used to get blank
continuously after few seconds and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 kept on
refreshing the screen.

Please see the attached journal.txt, hope this is what you required.

Thanks and regards,

Naz Ahmed.

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After successful upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10 from 15.04, restart system option couldn't boot, seemed in a loop, showing mouse pointer in the center of the screen for few seconds and then a blinking cursor at the upper left corner, instead. Used Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot and selected Upstart option which successfully booted the system but showing a message like "Upstart; Error while reading from descriptor, broken pipe."
  On my next attempt to boot using default systemd option I observed a message like "Systemd(1) Failed to setup API Bus. Connection timed out." , and then saw a window saying like "running low graphic" and then went into the same loop.
  Now, I can boot using Upstart option only not the systemd option.

  I'm using Dell Optiplex 755 with NVIDIA 8400GS Graphic card,
  Ubuntu 15.10 is installed on a external HD connected with one of external usb port.
