ocus@locus-m:~$ sudo dpkg --audit
The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during
installation. They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
that depend on them) to function properly:
 linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.15.0 on 32 bit
 linux-image-4.15.0-99-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.15.0 on 32 bit

The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-45-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4
 linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-99-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4

The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
 printer-driver-pnm2ppa printer driver for HP-GDI printers

The following packages are missing the list control file in the
database, they need to be reinstalled:

Tried this command long back Manfred & for whole day was looking at solution to restore the broken install which was interpreted due to frequent dis-connection of internet. Anyway i had re installed 16.04.6 everything again from live usb & not upgraded to 18.04.4.

Try disabling the encrypted swap partition as described in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032187/wont-boot-after-upgrade-18-04-encrypted-swap

Did the above disabling & now it won't show the login but goes on with boot screen of Ubuntu. Tried to rescue through grub menu but when the screen appears than everything is locked -- keyboard, mouse, display manger as it run a process behind to lock this. Stuck with no option to see this work. Booted Live usb, went to root & checked every thing as it worked ok.

What exactly happens when you try booting from the hard disk?

Please describe from the beginning:
Is it immediately stuck, or do you get the grub menu and the Ubuntu logo with the dots before?
How do you know that the keyboard is locked?
Can you use recovery mode from the grub menu?
Can you switch to a virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-F3/4/5...

I am sorry, but I cannot understand your description.

Grub menu appears with options to boot windows or Ubuntu. Normal boot start with no login screen appears but stuck in process. Here keyboard locks as no way to further.

Grub menu with boot options appears to go in recovery mode. Here in process it locks keyboard as on screen it show all process 1 of 4 where it locks every thing. As the display come to all options of recovery menu no keyboard function.

So everything stuck & only option to use Live Ubuntu cd.
