I've a pretty regular Ryzen Setup, but I can't install Ubuntu 18.04.4 (or others) with working graphics. I need nomodeset in the boot options so I have half-way support of anything graphical, but I would assume that my setup is supported by the defaults.

I get the GRUB and when I try to boot it instantly goes black, it does not show the splash.

My Setup: Ryzen 2600X MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC ASUS GTX 2070 ROG 2 SSD

All Bios & similar should be up2date.

How to debug such an issue

  • Have you tried 18.04.4? 18.04.3 uses 19.04's software stack, where as 18.04.4 will use 19.10's so is later. We don't support Mint, but if the others include on-topic releases they may provide clues (other releases too but we need to know the age of software stacks, Ubuntu's yy.mm format makes that easy though there is the second HWE step with certain media for LTS releases) – guiverc Mar 21 '20 at 21:50
  • Sorry, I've changed the question. Had 18.04 written before, thought "no, you used something fresh". I've installed 18.04.4. I've installed using nomodeset and I can boot using nomodeset, but now I'm pretty limited ;-) So how to proceed, even without quiet and splash I get a few brief lines of output and then it turns black. – xavor Mar 21 '20 at 22:01

Answering my own question with a solution:

  • Boot Live System using nomodeset
  • Install Ubuntu as usual
  • Boot new installed Ubuntu using nomodeset
  • Follow Black screen after installation of Ubuntu 18.04
    • short form: Run sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall; sudo reboot
  • reboot without nomodeset

Question remains: Why isn't the graphics card supported properly by the live system
