Comment 4 for bug 1888108

Hi Daniel,

First I have to admit I am fairly new to Ubuntu

I had an issue upgrading from 19.04 to 20.04 - so I decided to do a fresh
install.

First boot sequence got stuck on a Splash screen with a spinning wheel. I
searched the internet for a solution:
https://itsfoss.com/fix-ubuntu-freezing/

followed those instructions and the system booted.

I thought that what this did was:
"If you add the nomodeset parameter to the kernel, it instructs the kernel
to load the video/graphics drivers after the display server is started."

What is my next step here?

Thanks for your help.

Steve
