I hadn't looked but I since figured out how to fix the problem.  I had a grub theme that showed a photo behind the menu.  I removed the photo and the theme then rebooted.  Now I've got the standard grub menu, but it works.  You asked if I had checked to see if any errors were logged.  Where would I look?

thanks

Have you looked to see if there are any errors loggged?

I have a Dell Optiplex 7010 with 32GB RAM.  Recently I installed Kubuntu
24.04.1 on  a Kingston 240GB SSD. Sometimes it gets stuck after the grub
menu.  I have a second drive in it with Windows 10 that I occasionally
use for games.  After I choose Kubuntu at the grub menu, the menu
disappears then nothing happens.  I won't get the login screen .  I have
to hold down the power button until it shuts off.   Then I switch it on
and try again.  Sometimes it boots normally.  Sometimes it gets stuck. 
I removed the SSD that has Windows on it and the problem still happens. 
A few days ago I reinstalled the SSD that had my previous Kubuntu 22.04
installation  on it.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and what I can do
about it?  The computer boots in legacy mode.  Could this be some bug
that doesn't show itself if I booted using UEFI?


Thanks

Jim
