There are 2 causes for this problem:

  1. Too big log files in /var/log directory.
  2. Disk full

In the first case, in the /var/log folder, notice that some files are big and have the same size, for example,

  • messages.1: 1.8 GB
  • syslog.1: 1.8 GB
  • user.log.1: 1.8 GB.

In this case, even emptying the disk the problem continues. Some sources suggest not deleting these files, but just emptying it. This can be done in the terminal with the commands

$ > messages.1
$ > syslog.1
$ > user.log.1

If the disk is full, the fisrt case alone will not help, in this case you must access the disk through another partition or through an installer (bootable live USB) and empty the disk.

In my case, the black screen ends at the message

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.
