Decided to upgrade to the new LTS today, so I backed up my data and created a live usb with unetbootin and wiped my drive clean. Install was a little clunky but everything seemed to go just fine. Issue is whenever I log in, the desktop loads but either it totally freezes (mouse not moving, keyboard not functioning), or the mouse will still be moveable but nothing lights up when hovered over and clicks do nothing same with keyboard. This happens every time I log in.
I rebooted and used the check disc tool and it reports everything is fine. Tried reinstalling, same issue. Made a second disk with Ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator program, install went smoother that time but same issue on login.
I am using a HP DV6000 laptop that worked just fine with 12.04
I am at a loss here, maybe somebody has a little insight, any help would be appreciated, much love for this community

Here is how I fixed my issue:
When the computer loaded and I saw the ubuntu splash screen, I held the shift key until I see the kernel loader. I chose the advanced settings and loaded the kernel in recovery mode. I added the WiFi and went to the ubuntu menu [super button] and typed "Additional Drivers". Then I change my video driver from X.Org X server to NVIDIA. I have a GeForce 6150SE Video Card.
Hope this helps someone in the interwebs!
Cheers!
