Ubuntu 18.04 does not boot after install: “Hold until boot process finishes up”

I just installed ubuntu-desktop 18.04 on a new machine (no OS was previously installed). When I restart after installation completes the boot process gets stuck with "Started hold until boot finishes up". Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 or F1 does not do anything.



When I go into the recovery screen, the keyboard does not respond...
Any ideas how to deal with these issues?
Thanks!

On power up, can you press ESC or DEL or whatever key sequence gets you into the boot manager? I upgraded a LattePanda running lubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, and it was looping through some failure sequence. When I pressed ESC and entered the boot manager, I found that the first item in the boot sequence was an entry for Android. I don't have Android installed on this device, so I don't know how or why that entry was there. I selected the override to boot ubuntu, which worked fine. Once in the ubuntu O/S, I entered the following, based on info I found in another post:



sudo modprobe efivars


followed by:



efibootmgr


which told me that the Android entry was #5, so I then entered:



sudo efibootmgr -b 5 -B


to remove that entry from the boot sequence so that the next time I powered off and back on, it went to ubuntu.
Hope this helps.

    This happens when you don't Unmount your external device and remove it . Use the above method press Ctrl+Alt+F2 orF1 enter Username and Password. Now Using terminal type



    sudo modprobe efivars 


    and then followed by



    efibootmgr 


    You will see the boot sequence order look for external device's now type



    sudo efibootmgr -b no -B 


    Note no:denotes the external device's number.This worked for me.
