Applied the patch successfully but failed to reboot with the same
symptoms, created journal1.txt please find attached herewith. On second
attempt systemd worked fine.

Pls note yesterday applied partial upgrade as well.

Thanks for the help.

  Upstream bug: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1505

  After successful upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10 from 15.04, restart system option couldn't boot, seemed in a loop, showing mouse pointer in the center of the screen for few seconds and then a blinking cursor at the upper left corner, instead. Used Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot and selected Upstart option which successfully booted the system but showing a message like "Upstart; Error while reading from descriptor, broken pipe."
  On my next attempt to boot using default systemd option I observed a message like "Systemd(1) Failed to setup API Bus. Connection timed out." , and then saw a window saying like "running low graphic" and then went into the same loop.
  Now, I can boot using Upstart option only not the systemd option.

  I'm using Dell Optiplex 755 with NVIDIA 8400GS Graphic card,
  Ubuntu 15.10 is installed on a external HD connected with one of external usb port.
