I'm not sure where you got that info, but nomodeset is like a "safe" video mode, where a generic, unaccelerated driver is used. From the log: [ 0.043487] You have booted with nomodeset. This means your GPU drivers are DISABLED [ 0.043487] Any video related functionality will be severely degraded, and you may not even be able to suspend the system properly [ 0.043488] Unless you actually understand what nomodeset does, you should reboot without enabling it
The next step is to boot without nomodeset and see if the system fails to reach the login screen again. If it does, get to a terminal (Ctr+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F2) and copy the Xorg log: cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/badboot.log The you can reboot with nomodeset and attach the badboot.log here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888108 Title: Fresh install 20.04 Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My Graphics are like a slide show.
