Ubuntu 16.04 will not load

[Bela Yorke]

When the PC (desktop) is switched on Ububntun tries to load but stops after displaying a pinkish screen. I tried to do a: sudo apt-get install unity but nothing happened. After that I tried: mv ~/.config ~?>config_backup but again nothing happened. What should I do to get my system working or would you advise me to go back to Windows after being an Ubuntu user for many years. My email that I can access on my wifes laptop is <email address hidden>
I can not follow the Ubuntu bug reporting guidelines because the system is not working. I don't know how this page I am writing on is displayed.
But I need some urgent help.Please please.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-life on April 29, 2021.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
