Same error here using a Lenovo Yoga X1 3rd with fully updated Ubuntu 20.04 (focal). Removing "quiet splash" seems to work and also observed (when I was trying to debug this) that pressing Esc key to avoid splash screen and see the boot logs workarounds this annoying bug too. Seems some kind of problem with plymouth (if it's still the tool which handles the splash screen) or something related, but I don't have time to debug the boot process in more depth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874194 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 HDMI connected, no boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 (using the image created on 20 april) on my Dell XPS15 9560. This laptop has a Intel / nVidia combo. The problem i am facing is that when i have an external monitor connected to the laptop through the HDMI connector of the laptop, Ubuntu does not boot and hangs on the splash screen. I have not found any way to get logging on any kind. Before i was running Ubuntu 18.04 and did not have any problems with the monitor and HDMI cable. After boot is finished (without monitor connected) inserting the HDMI cable works fine and i can use the monitor and laptop screen without any problem. I have installed the preferred nVida proprietary driver. Also it does not matter if booting with nVidia selected or Intel selected.
