My Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS corrupted so I proceeded with a clean install as I have done many times before. I am installing on a 500 GB EXT4 freshly formatted partition (I have a second 500GB partition formatted in EXT4 for data)

After the clean install from CD, Ubuntu Studio reboots the first time just fine. Shortly after, as usual, it requests updating and a reboot. But now, it no longer reboots at all. The WiFi network light stays on, the HDD light flashes briefly once a minute or so, and the screen remain black. I have repeated the process and Einstein must be laughing at me ;-)

Has anyone experienced this? Is it a recent 20.04 patch that may have a bug? I do not think that it is a hardware issue, it reboots fine after the clean install.

What should I do?

  • Wait a long long time for it to finish (I somewhat doubt that, it has been hours now)
  • Diagnostics (boot from CD in safe mode and do what?)
  • Not update 20.04 LTS at all. Avoid certain updates?
  • Migrate to 22.04 LTS?

I have a LENOVO W520:

  • Intel Core i7-2760QM processor (quad-core, 2.4GHz) 2GB
  • NVIDIA Quadro® 2000M graphics
  • 24 GB PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
  • 4-in-1 media reader (MMC, SD, SDHC, SDXC)
  • 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Bluetooth 3.0
  • 1 GB SSD HDD

Many thanks in advance,

Paul.

ANSWER: WAIT 2 HOURS FOR THE SOFTWARE TO UPDATE. PATIENCE FOLKS !!!

I guess there are a lot more patches since 1st release. Note: Installing from the DVD takes only about 15 minutes.
