The thing is that i can not do anything to the system, as I understand it is on the looped boot sequence (just the gdm splash part). Also the only button that works for me is the power button, when pressed the shutting down sequence begins, Ubuntu logo, and moving mouse cursor with loading symbol. I would report with Apport but as i said i cannot access the desktop.
