Stuck mid login screen

[Narcis Garcia]

You can use an USB device like a hard disk*. You can install the
operating system in the USB device as the only present disk in the
computer (if a disk with OS is already present, disconnect it previously).

Then you can test and reproduce this issue with a fresh install, and
maybe isolate the point or step when it fails (install same version,
update,...). If it doesn't fail, then there is some specific
configuration in your productive system that interferes.

(*) To boot directly from USB, you may need to press some key when
powering the computer on.
