One day my touchpad stopped taking input so I rebooted my laptop & haven't since been able to return to Kubuntu. When choosing it in GRUB I see (1) the OEM logo for ~1 sec, (2) the Kubuntu splash screen for ~1 sec, (3) the OEM logo forever. I can enter recovery & boot from a live USB. Things I have tried:

  • enable & disable secure boot (shouldn't matter w/ EFI)
  • disable hibernate & fast boot in Windows 10; performed a cold shut down
  • my Ubuntu partition /dev/nvme01p7 has the boot flag per GParted.
  • sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall (Nvidia drivers I already had from the working installation)
  • ran dpkg & fsck in recovery (Ubuntu partition is mounted, also noted an error I'm ignoring)
  • ran recommended boot-repair: see the logs for the diagnostic & repair
  • sudo nano /etc/default/grub output

Open a terminal and type sudo nano /etc/default/grub/
Then swap out & change these lines;

#GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rhgb nosplash"

Commit the change in nano (Ctrl+O) then save over same name and exit (Ctrl+X).
Then type sudo update-grub then type sudo shutdown -r now and see what scrolls.
