The log I saw appeared after I agreed to report the problem. It was on
screen. Apparently it did not get saved, I certainly did not save it .

The one that appeared on screen after I agreed to report the problem.

The file system used on the /boot/efi partition is reported as "FAT (32
bit version)". This is the same as the file system used on the
boot/EFI/ partition of the Ubuntu 22.04 installation on my desktop PC.
I'm not sure whether it means anything, but the /boot/efi folder in the
problem installation of Ubuntu 24.04, appears to be empty. The same
folder in the desktop equivalent folder contains 10MB.
You may also be interested to note that the new install of 24.04 is on a
fairly new ASUS F1603Z laptop. After I finished with the bug report I
discovered that the machine was, as you might expect, still running on
the live session off the USB stick installation media. I shut that down
normally, removed the USB device and restarted the machine. It started
normally and appears to be running properly. The machine starts and
stops normally.
John.
