Bug ID: 494886
Summary: After updating to latest Ubuntu in 6.2, system hangs
upon reboot and will not progress to login screen
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After updating to the latest Ubuntu release when prompted by the popup in Neon,
it installed fine, rebooted once, did a few more updates and then rebooted
again. After that second reboot, the system would hand just after showing my
laptop's logo screen. It then goes to a black screen and hangs there.
The issue is something that the latest Ubuntu puts into the GRUP that us
messing with some computers. It inserts "splash" into the GRUP and that keeps
the computer from being able to boot into Neon. I go in and manually remove
"splash" from the GRUP and the system boots fine. Then I go into the GRUP.CFG
and edit it there to remove all the instances of "splash," save it, and then
the system is fine again... until it does another system update. At that point,
it adds "splash" back in and I have to go and edit everything all over again. I
have seen this discussed on the subreddit and shared this solution there, and
have already had folks tell me this solved their issue as well. Something needs
to be done so that "splash" doesn't keep getting put back in or even put in
there in the first place.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to latest Ubuntu in KDE Neon 6.2
2. Reboot
3. Black Screen
OBSERVED RESULT
Hangs on black screen and will not allow the computer to boot.
EXPECTED RESULT
Allows the computer to progress to the login screen for login and operation.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
