Spinning wheel during startup, stuck there on 20.04 2/3 or 3/4 boots

Question

Installed 20.04 but boot fails, stalling at the spinning wheel icon.

I must restart 2-3 times to boot into my system.

What could be the problem?

Solution

I suspect the LiveUSB used to install Ubuntu 20.04 may have been installed with a corrupted download.

Please redownload Ubuntu's ISO file at https://ubuntu.com/download

or for a supported 'flavour' with a different Desktop Environment, download from https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours .

Next, check for download errors by https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu .

Make a new LiveUSB following these instructions on another Linux PC or on a Windows PC .

Once you make a LiveUSB, install it following these steps https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop
