Ubuntu Mate 20.04 crashed and enters an infinite loop on reboot, trying and failing to start the following systemctl services: (1) Stystem Logging Service (rsyslog.service), (2) D-Bus Message System Bus (dbus.service) and (3) Login Service.
My two question are (my machine has a CD drive):
(1) Isn't there a CD somewhere that will take control of the computer, and fix whatever is wrong? Or,
(2) isn't there a CD somewhere that will take control of the computer, erase absolutely everything, and install a new operating system?
Either of those is all I want.
The screen printout is as follows:
[ OK ] stopped System Logging Service
starting System Logging Service
[FAILED] Failed to start Login Service
see 'systemctl status rsyslog.service' for details
[ OK ] Stopped Login Service
[ OK ] Listening on D-Bus System Message Bus Socket

... and so on, over and over.
