Hi, after I upgraded my desktop Asus with only Ubuntu on it, to 16.04 I got almost everyday with start up after boot log-in 'terminal' black screen with lots of stuff, when this is gone and before logging in Ubuntu 16.04 this same screen runs again. Then got Linux message to report a problem, again logging in and sending a report. Also got lots of updates and now I wonder if it would be better to take the whole off and download 16.04 again, don't know how but maybe this will solve it ? Tried roothunter, but find this is too complicated.
any suggestions will be very welcome

Sometimes full system upgrades are problematic and produce the kind of glitches you are describing.
A complete new install might be the best way to go.
Since you only have ubuntu on your machine, a new install is relatively easy.
