Public bug reported:
I am attempting to install Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 from a freshly downloaded Live
image on a USB stick.
My computer boots from the image and I get to the point where it displays an
empty desktop with the Focal Fossa background image.
After displaying the empty desktop for a few seconds, the screen switches to
black with a white Ubuntu logo towards the bottom and a narrow vertical white
rectangle which I suppose is an artefact of some menu that it fails to display
properly.
I would expect Ubuntu to either display the desktop to me, populated with
various icons such as a shortcut to install, or display some install menu to
me. Neither happens; it only displays this black screen where I cannot do
anything. I attach an photo of this.
This is quite a problem as it prevents me from installing Ubuntu 20.04.2.0.
I am able to switch to a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 and log in as
"ubuntu", but I have no idea what I would have to do to initiate the install
from the terminal or somehow fix the broken desktop environment from there.
