Ubuntu fails to boot (Nvidia hybrid)

[xashyar]

Bashing-om -- Thank you;
That is now very heartwarming to hear

1) I've put "nomodeset in place, and the /etc/default/grub is now looking like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

2) As for X11/Wayland, it's currently on wayland but I get the same result with X11 regarding the boot:

xashyar - Hey !

This may be real relevant:

Gdm: Child process -1774 was already dead.

Off the top of my head I do not know what this implies to the drivers - but; can not be good.

excuse me while I do the homework to know more.

-inquiring minds want to know-

[Bashing-om]

xashyar - Regrets

Beyond my skills presently to understand this; I am making no forward progress to proffer a viable fault-finding procedure - that I feel might be productive. I am stumped.

Hopefully another here will step forward with suggestions.

-A know-it-all - I am not-

[xashyar]

Bashing-om; Thanks for the look out!

I just wanted to add another data point which might be of importance.

I ran systemctl status display-manager again this time with X.org/X11 as session manager, and got pretty much the same result:

xashyar -

Well with X11 as your DE Xorg's log file might give us some additional info.

cat .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

is a thought

Just a minor note about this log, I logged out from wayland, and logged back into X11 right after, and then took the logs. For some reason X11, gives me a blank screen upon login (even though it's in recovery mode), after a few days. So I have to switch back to Wayland. Not sure why that happens only to X11 either.

Related to nomodeset in use ??? Just do not know -
However, let's get around using nomodeset (recovery console) to boot.

try:
Boot to grub's boot menu
At the grub menu press 'e' to edit -
Replace quiet splash with the boot parameter systemd.unit=multi-user.target in the line that starts with linux.
Key combo ctl+x to continue to a TTY.
Here we completely disable starting X on startup.

Now let's start the GUI and see what errors are given:

sudo systemctl start graphical.target

does the GUI start ?

poking and stroking

[xashyar]

Bashing-om;

Unfortunately it doesn't reach the TTY, so I can enter the systemctl start graphical.target command.

I added the systemd.unit=multi-user.target boot parameters (both via grub editor, and editing the etc/default/grub file into: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

But it boots pretty much with the same behavior as before.

Here's the screen I get after Ctrl+x:

Related to nomodeset in use ??? Just do not know -

Also with regard to this, I still see this in the xorg log, even after I have removed the nomodeset parameter:

xashyar - Yuk

Makes no sense to me that you can not reach a TTY from grub - EFI can not direct to the initramfs ?? Huh ! We know that it does when booting with the "nomodeset" parameter.

Will scratch my head a spell -- and run around in more circles.
Will return when I have something constructive to add.

hate when this happens

[xashyar]

Bashing-om; Fingers crossed!

Just to be sure;

Makes no sense to me that you can not reach a TTY from grub - EFI can not direct to the initramfs ?? Huh ! We know that it does when booting with the "nomodeset" parameter.

The only way I can get to the TTY from grub, is with the "recovery" parameter, "nomodeset" doesn't make any difference.

Best!
