ubuntu 16.04 is not booting after an improper shutdown

Hi,

I am using Windows 10 host and VMware workstation9 and VM player 5.

I was installed ubuntu16.04 LTS using its .iso some time back and many a times updates happened to Windows host and Ubuntu guest with their respective procedures.

Ubuntu never gave any problem except from a day when it was shutdown improperly.

Then on wards Ubuntu is started to boot but hand at middle . Can some one help.

Sharing screenshot and .log file here.

I did not take snapshot , so I can not recover it.

Reading your log-file shows that the vmdk itself still seems to be fine.
Try to log on in single user mode and run a filesystem check

What continuum said. It looks like Ubuntu just isn't happy with the way it was powered off. Boot Ubuntu into single user mode and run a manual fsck to let the machine check if it has any issues. More info on fsck from Ubuntu here: SystemAdministration/Fsck - Community Help Wiki
