What happens (and I've repeated this a few times) is that I'll:
- Install 18.04.1 (to be safe: minimal installation, no 3rd party packages).
- Reboot, removing the USB stick in the progress.
- Login into Ubuntu successfully (just once).
- Restart the computer. When I login, I'll get a black screen after successfully entering my password and hitting enter. Eventually I just force reset.
I'll rarely be able to get back in later, but it's not clear what makes it work (race condition?).
Before logging in, I can get to a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F2 (and startx if necessary).
