I've been wrestling this for a couple days now. I need to work with Ubuntu for a particular project so originally tried running the 18.04 image from an SD card. Everything works great at first but I often ran into problems with software update seizing up at a certain point or the system failing to boot again after the patch. I'd reflash the SD card and start over each time, I think 6 or 7 iterations now. Deciding that it may be the SD card that's causing the problem I flashed 18.04 to the MMC drive. That went well. I ran software update and that went well too. However now, once again the system refuses to boot. I am stuck in an endless loop of the screen flashing black and then showing the boot text.
The first time through it was the Bluetooth initialization commands that were last printed. Every subsequent time it is the prompts stating that it is (in order):
Started Bluetooth service
Reached target Bluetooth
Stopped Light Display Manager
Starting Light Display Manager...
Started Light Display Manager.
The text doesn't seem to be updating so I'm not sure if the flashing is the display manager hiccuping or what. Is this a known problem with the 18.04 Ubuntu MATE image? Is there a resolution to it?
