Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS No Password Prompt after update, can't login
I recently logged into a VM running ubuntu 18.0.4 LTS server and found I was having networking issues. General solution to these issues was a reboot of the VM but this time when it came back, netplan was just gone as though it had been uninstalled which broke my entire networking stack. I then attempted to side load all the dependencies to reinstall netplan via .deb packages and updated dependencies and after a going down a few of these packages, I had to reboot the VM and now I can no longer login. I've found various topics around login loops with the desktop and going to the tty terminal but i'm already there and I don't get in the loop of username, password repeat. I now never see a password prompt. I get to the login screen, i type the user name and it sits, and comes back with the username again. I have no idea what to do now because an auto update broke my networking and an update of a package broke my ability to login.
