I had done a sudo apt-get upgrade and was installing some packages (truffle, nodejs) when my laptop stopped responding and applications were not opening so I restarted it and when it booted it got stuck in the verbose boot screen and blinking intermittently.
All were showing [OK] so I pressed ALT + F2 and was able to login but it showed a few python value errors:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '6.06 LTS'
How can I fix this and complete the boot sequence please help?

After logging into the console look edit this file:
/usr/share/pyshared/lsb_release.py
And around line 41 you will see:
RELEASES_ORDER.sort(key=lambda n: float(n[0]))
Change it to:
RELEASES_ORDER.sort(key=lambda n: float(n[0].split()[0]))
Source: lsb_release - could not convert string to float: '8.04 LTS'
