Hi Volker,

if it's a black screen with a blinking white _ in the upper left corner,
than boot might already fail, by not finding the bootloader. You
probably unplugged the USB stick with the installation media, but forgot
to change the BIOS setting to boot from the other USB stick with your
brand new Ubuntu install. If so, just change the BIOS setting to the
partition where the bootloader is.

This happens to me all the time when I'm in a hurry and forget to change
the boot device by the BIOS or UEFI settings.

Regards,
Ralf
