After I log out of Ubuntu 19.10, the screen is blank/black instead of showing a login prompt. I have to restart the PC to log in again.
How may I troubleshoot this?

@Luhein Lategan If you boot from a 19.10 LiveUSB, then log out, does the problem repeat?– K7AAYOct 31, 2019 at 15:09

I have a similar problem. My dell XPS running Ubuntu 19.04 and windows dual boot was running fine. I was asked to upgrade to 19.10 and started the process and walked away. When I came back there is a blank screen with a blinking cursor and I’m unable to reboot or turn off the computer. Tried ctrl alt F1-F8 but nothing worked

Okay- I also managed to restore things by forcing a shutdown (by holding power key for 15-20 seconds) and then boot up with in safe mode which allowed me to do something which fixed the issue. I think some packages werent fully installed. Nov 3, 2019 at 5:03
