kernel updates for k12.04

[ray burke]

Valorie 15/9/2017...

I cloned my k12.04 to vacant 160gb sata dive. Then this morning I
booted up then connected
thru my mobile broadband stick and ran the upgrade thru muon updater,
it said after step 6 that there was 1365 packages to install and i
have to download 874mb. and this would take about 10mins, so I then
click the "start upgrade".
It then took about 1.5 hrs to complete till it reached "restart the
system to complete the upgrade",
so I clicked restart now tab.
it then rebooted,and brought up my logon screen, entered my password,
then went away and brought up a Black screen, with cursor button, and
nothing else except, my PopPeeper.exc (email notifier)and reminder.exc
(birthday events notifier) which both run thru wine. Then a window pop
up saying-
"no system tray detected on this system"
"unable to start exiting"

So how do you think I fix?

Ray
PS I ran dual boot systems win7/K12.04, and the upgrade picked this up
and in the grub,
I am able to either boot win7/k14.04(not successful as Black screen?
