Public bug reported: On Dell Latitude 5500 laptop, dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows, Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit, 5.4.0-33-generic, Ubuntu boot stops with blank screen when the laptop is unplugged, even in recovery mode.
After plugging in power after a failed boot, the following message is shown before the splash screen: [ 0.468311] Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed /dev/nvme-n1p6: clean, 470502/4800512 files, 6138995/19200000 blocks As long as the laptop is plugged in before selecting Ubuntu in GRUB, it will boot, but it never finishes booting if it is unplugged, even in recovery mode. It also occurred in Ubuntu 19.10.
