Comment 5 for bug 1043517

I finally figured out how to launch Synaptic (still learning DASH) and
verified that ubuntu-desktop is installed.
I suppose that because the bug report was created during the upgrade it may
have not been installed yet.
It looks like the "apt-get upgrade -f" took care of all that prevented the
normal boot.
My suspect is hplip modifying some startup files that required user
intervention at an unecpected point. When recovering manually, it asked to
keep or replace several printer configuration files modified by hplip and
grub.conf which I think is related to a video driver fix I installed long
ago.
After two reboots, it is now working fine.
BTW, I kept the modified files so my HP printers work.
