You should run all the command without live CD, i.d boot your computer
and login even if it is only command prompt, and repeat again the
command one at a time and after one command completed every time
reboot:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and then reboot. If it still go to command prompt again, then try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and then reboot. If it still go to command prompt again, then try:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a

and then reboot.
