Bug Description

installing selinux led me to this and my 16.04 ubuntu during normal boot up lands at "low graphics mode" . now selinux has been removed, though I get this error and even "low graphics mode" issue not going away (as a workaround , boot up via grub-->recovery-->enable network stack-->do a normal resume, get me my system back) .

tried almost all methods to remove low graphics mode , but not success.
