Same problem here, black screen + cursor. But i can't remember having Problems with the libsystemd-login0 package. I was compiling the newest nzbget version from source and changing some other packages and also did the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to "complete" everything. Everything worked fine until "sudo reboot"

After that, I was playing around with the suggestions posted by Lucifer.

So basically you mount the media with the now f****d up root system partition.
You go and delete it (I just like the feeling of making what made me angry disappear). Then go to the last known good copy of this partition and copy it in root. That is all ...

BTRFS is new to me (mostly Windows user, except my old netbook where i mounted the SD Card), but the idea behind sounds great for me.
I removed the files in "@" and replaced them with the files from various snapshots. But none of them make xbian boot.

Since there are two partitions, xbian-beta2 and xbian-boot, i guess the problem won't be fixed by changing files on xbian-beta2? I was also playing around with initiramfs.gz on "xbian-boot" or just say, i renamed the file to initramfs.gz.new and renamed the file initramfs.gz.old to initramfs.gz.
When i put my SD Card back into the Pi, the xbian splash screen appears, saying "init process", after some seconds the "xbian recovery" boots up. I don't know what to do next, but the recovery is way more than just a black screen with a cursor imo.

Of course, it's my fault for not having an up2date backup, but since i am still changing stuff on an almost daily base ... yeah .. you know what i mean.

I hope there will be another solution then reinstaling xbian.

PS: Thanks for your great work here and on xbian ( 1st post after lurking a long time ) and sorry for bad grammar (not my native language)
