Public bug reported: Issue:- Getting blank screen after the initial install grub prompt.
Tried acpi=off, nomodeset parameters added in grub still no luck Note:- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS worked without any issues. Env:- ==== UEFI - Dual boot, secure boot disabled, SATA to AHCI Bios vers - 1.0.7 $find /sys/devices -name "edid" /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-DP-1/edid $lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER] (rev a1) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER] (rev a1) === nomodeset:- defined to instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded. Surprisingly this desktop comes with single HDMI slot. And there is no any DP port. We need to rely on this one. Apart from the nomodeset/acpi=off, is there any grub parameter can I try here? Please suggest. Please note:- we need to rely on 18.04 LTS due to application compatibility.
