I am able to boot successfully (?) but cannot actually get into ubuntu, i only reach the screen that says j have booted successfully before my screen goes black

#

Same issue i posted before but a bit farther along. I set graphics settings to discrete graphics over on-board intel and get this far before blacking out

A new OS?

#

No, i have only used mint and kubuntu on this machine

#

@spare forum need some help

#

and do you really need kubuntu?

fleet lantern
#

I mean i would like to keep using it, i am most comfortable on ubuntu or debian based distros and my fave de is kde plasma

#

Fast boot is off, i dont have any tpm or csm options in bios, and the secure boot im using is kubuntus own encrypted boot thingie

restive quest
#

all debian based

Word?

#

Well, i would still like to boot up a few more times to retrieve data and such

#

Also are any of those notably more stable?

#

Most pf my tech is pretty outdated so i dont need cutting edge support

Ill look into, but as i said, i still need to boot into kubuntu, it would be kinda a waste to just wipe my pc again
