Booting in recovery mode works but if i try to boot normally I just get a black screen. Last time I used the Device I used the Update Manager to update. I'm running dual boot with grub. I've been using it for around 3 months with no issues. How can i fix/find out what the issue is?

i'm a little late since i just joined the server but i've been having the same issue
the only way i could boot into normal mode without the black screen was adding the parameter 'nomodeset' , altho the forums advice not to use it as a permanent solution, i can't still find another way so until i find out what wrong that's what i'm relying on
hybrid plover
Ive read about that too but I didnt manage to get it working. Im Not sure tho If i set the Parameter right. What worked for me was using a version with another kernel. I think its the one with 115 at the end.
dim cape
can i ask what you did exactly?
hybrid plover
Sure i'll get back to you in Like 30 minutes
dim cape
that's ok take your time, i'm very thankful if you're willing to help :))
also yeah i just checked and my my kernel has 112 in it not 115
brisk wing
The nomodeset option can help with the black screen issue. Once you are booted into the system, you want to look at Driver Manager and see if it has any alternative drivers for you. Spoiler: nvidia users usually want the official nvidia one, but there is a reason many Linux users hate it.
ebon gate
try -> sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
then do -> sudo apt-get install "nvidia_(Versionnr)"

sorry for the late response, the one i ment was with 105 not 115 at the end. are you using it with grub?
brisk wing

We use Driver Manager for that on Mint. Especially for newbies - better to guide them to the GUI tools.

Then you may want to boot into the previous kernel. You can select it from the Grub boot menu, but you need to bring it up at start by pressing Shift or Ctrl, depending on how you installed.

often on update the rights for Xconfig goes to trash
then the xserver cant start properly

That may be the case, but that does not produce a black screen on boot. Not on Mint, at any rate.
ebon gate
oh on boot? or on login?
brisk wing
This sounds like the recent nvidia driver regression. It hit some users with specific configurations.
ebon gate
if it is on boot then your grubs conf is broken maybe
try reinstall grubs and do grup update

no, the drivers managers says that there are no drivers needed, also my cpu is AMD 3020e with Radeon Graphics and the gpu is AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series (in case it's of any help) also after adding nomodeset, i noticed an error popping up (doesnt affect the boot) that says "VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modsetting" which i'm still trying to figure out

Are you on Linux Mint?
ebon gate
Been dealing with a blank screen right after boot on the same cause for days (different versions of Ubuntu-Kubuntu-LinuxMint-CentOS (both 32 and 64 bits), until I read a post on Reddit and passed this kernel parameter at boot time:
amdgpu.dc=0
dim cape
my bad i misspelled it forgot an x omggg
ebon gate
this should help ->
To temporarily add a boot parameter to a kernel
Start your system and wait for the GRUB menu to show (if you don't see a GRUB menu, press and hold the left Shift key right after starting the system).
Now highlight the kernel you want to use, and press the e key. You should be able to see and edit the commands associated with the highlighted kernel.
Go down to the line starting with linux and add your parameter foo=bar to its end.
Now press Ctrl + x to boot.
To make this change permanent
From a terminal (or after pressing Alt + F2) run:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
(or use sudo nano if gksudo or gedit are not available) and enter your password.
Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and append foo=bar to its end. For example:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash foo=bar"
Save the file and close the editor.
Finally, start a terminal and run:
sudo update-grub
to update GRUB's configuration file (you probably need to enter your password).
On the next reboot, the kernel should be started with the boot parameter. To permanently remove it, simply remove the parameter from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and run sudo update-grub again.
To verify your changes, you can see exactly what parameters your kernel booted with by executing cat /proc/cmdline.

For older AMD GPUs, you can control the driver that way, i.e. running radeon vs amdgpu.

Then use that. Also check your Driver Manager.
driver manager states: no drivers needed
ebon gate
look for the green hook

Then avoid that other kernel version, it has some problem with your system.

You can use Update Manager to switch to a different kernel branch. Usually the 5.15 LTS is fine, but you could also switch to a newer one, which will probably not have the issue. Then you can install updates without having to look out for that bad kernel version.
brisk wing
yes
You probably have Secure Boot or Fast Startup enabled, which tends to lock up your system and cause issues with Linux.

oh well i made sure secure boot is disabled before even booting from usb drive, i'll try to disable fast startup then
dim cape
ok i made sure secure boot is off and disabled fast startup, if i go back into mint and remove nomodeset parameter it should boot just fine?
brisk wing
It might. Your Vega iGPU usually runs flawlessly with Linux.
If it does not, you may want to upgrade your kernel to a newer version. But test it first.

it should be up to date because the update manager isn't recommending anything, maybe "foo=bat" parameter recommended by @ebon gate could help ?
brisk wing
In Update Manager, select "View > Linux kernels". You will see that you are up-to-date on the branch you are using, but there are newer branches.
dim cape
or, one more thing, on the grub menu there are 4 options 2 being linux 5.15.0-112 generic ( and recovery) and the other 2 linux 5.15.0-91, i havent tried the 91 one
brisk wing
That is just an older version of the 5.15 LTS kernel you used previously. If that one worked, you can keep using it.
