Public bug reported:

Always completely unresponsive black screen on first reboot after fresh
install 24.04 Kubuntu, both Intel and AMD GPU. Actually, the computer
should show the manufacturer logo, and then start the desktop (in this
case KDE Plasma).

I followed this advice:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1cdko49/comment/l1uf573/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It seems that "quiet splash" is the actual problem, not a possible
solution with adding "nomodeset".

I edited the GRUB entry as follows (with results added):

1) With only "quiet splash" (no "nomodeset"), default installation,
fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04: only black screen, nothing happens. Only
hard reset will do anything.

2) Add "nomodeset" to "quiet splash": everything works perfectly. Also
works permanently with editing of /etc/default/grub.

3) Delete "quiet splash" in GRUB and do not add "nomodeset" (or delete
"nomodeset", if previously added): everything works perfectly (see
Reddit link above).

4) Delete "nomodeset", after having added it to /etc/default/grub and
updated grub previously, but leave the 'original' "quiet splash":
computer hangs, completely unresponsive, after showing the following
code:

Booting a command list
Loading Linux 6.8.0-31-generic ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

5) Again, boot without both "quiet splash" or "nomodeset": everything works 
perfectly. Also works permanently with /etc/default/grub.
It went quite fast, but after "Loading initial ramdisk ..." I think the next 
code line was "secure boot is enabled". It might be a problem with "secure 
boot" and "quiet splash". Secure boot is enabled in both my installations, so I 
can't try the other option ("secure boot" disabled in the EFI BIOS before 
installation).

Workaround (for me):
- Edit /etc/default/grub: the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=". Delete the 
words "quiet splash" (leave the quotation marks '').
- Run sudo update-grub

Systems used (two different notebooks):
1) Kubuntu 24.04, VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 
[AMD/ATI] Barcelo (rev c2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) DeviceName: AMD Radeon 
Integrated Graphics Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Barcelo-.
2) Kubuntu 24.04, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P 
[Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo 
Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics].

See log file from notebook No., 2 Iris Xe Graphics, attached. This is
what I did:

- "quiet splash" deleted by me from /etc/default/grub = everything fine.
- Added "quiet splash" to /etc/default/grub again = black screen.
- Hard reset, and then deleted "quiet splash" from GRUB after ESC, editing with 
"e" and CTRL + x = computer starts.
- entered sudo journalctl -k -b -1 > /tmp/kernel.log in a terminal. The output 
is attached.

If you need 1) cat /proc/version_signature > version.log and/or 2) sudo
lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log please say so. I can't get at the computers
at the moment. But if it will help, all get both logs mentioned for both
computers and upload them.
