Black screen (without cursor) displays after login to Unity 8 on Ubuntu 16.04

I had a similar issue when logging into Ubuntu GNOME, my issues was resolved by:
When you reach the black screen upon login, you could try pressing 'Ctrl + Alt + F1' and blindly type your username, press enter and then type your password. Press enter after this and a CLI environment should be displayed similar to a normal terminal.
From here, enter the command: startx
which should start the unity 8 desktop environment.
