So I ran apt-get dist-upgrade, and now my system do not start. I get past the boot menu. Then I see file system check stuff. Something like:
/dev/sda1: clean 34534/324344 files, 23445435/234435466 blocks
(Numbers are made up. Did not think the actual numbers were relevant)
This blinks on the screen for a couple of minutes until it stabalizes. I cannot do anything. I've tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+FX 1-12 but no response. Ctrl+Alt+Delete reboots.
It responds to ping and I can login via ssh.
I suspect it has something to do with the graphics drivers, since I have had problems with them in the past. It is a Nvidia card.
In /var/log/kern.log I have this at the end:

but it goes on for 60 rows or so.
I tried adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" to /etc/default/grub. This made the screen stop flickering, but I still do not get to Gnome login. I can still ssh.
