Public bug reported:

Hello

There are no operational issues with version 24.04.

The problem occurs when attempting to install version 26.04.

The installer gets stuck in a loop when opening the installer's
graphical session, despite the presence of the NOMODESET option.

Here are some collected logs.

There's probably an option to add to GRUB to inform the software of the absence 
of a graphics card, but I haven't found it.
