I tried to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 but it would not take and now I'm stuck between them and nothing works but terminal and I don't know how to fix. I need someone who can go through the report and tell me what to do. Please tell me how to generate the report, where and how to send from terminal, I have no GUI. Thank you.

I think what you refer to as the "terminal" could be the Ubuntu boot process, with the kernel kicking in and all the services starting up. If this is the case then there is no definitive "report" to send with this information (that I know of). Instead, the output to your screen during the boot process is usually saved in several log files, which can be copied to USB or stored on a network drive (if you have one available) even from a live environment.

The log files which we may find useful are:

/var/log/dmesg
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/boot.log

These logs contain the boot process that flies by when you start Ubuntu up. With these logs, in a new post we may be able to assist further in getting your Ubuntu install back up and running.
