16.04 - Cannot loging because of ubuntu--vg-root: clean - Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS

After a reboot I could not log back in via the GUI. I got the black screen with a flash of text saying:


WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root: clean, XXX/XXXfiles, XXX/XXX

and then reverts back to the login screen.


I did the 'uselvmetad = 0' fix and ran 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all'


THis got rid of the lvmetad errors, but not the 'ubuntu--vg-root: clean' error. From what I can tell people have fixed it by running 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop', but this did not work for me. I also tried 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity' with no luck.


Does anyone know of anything else that I could try?
