Boot / Installation Media Loads Only Black Screen

cn flag

With many Ubuntu issues all of a sudden since upgrading to 21.04 I am trying a fresh install or at least a repair from the boot DVD. However, after a long while of booting from the removable media, all it gives is a black screen with the moveable mouse cursor. How do I get around this? I am not a newbie and have installed Ubuntu countless times and never saw this issue before.

As an addendum as to why I am doing this, when I try to boot to the hard drive itself, all it gives is the login screen with an immovable cursor and non-functional keyboard but this was a working system this morning.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
