Problem booting into Ubuntu 18.04LTS
I have UBUNTU 16LTS installed in one disk and 17 on another and it was functioning perfectly. Recently I clean installed 18.04LTS on the disk with version 17 using a USB flash drive. Installation finished without any issues and the new OS showed up nicely on the Grub screen. However, whenever I select 18.04LTS to boot into, the screen goes blank after the purple ubuntu screen and never reaches the login prompt. I have tried boot repair from startup disk, which did not help. What might be the problem and how to fix it?

Do you get to see the Ubuntu logo with the incrementing dots underneath? Is this an older computer? Report back to @heynnema

@heynnema Yes... that screen stays for a few seconds, followed by a blank screen. This is a new computer I assembled last year. Before 18.04, it was a charm!
