Reboot, and at the grub screen press ‘e’

Add ‘nomodeset’ to the ‘GRUB_CMD_DEFAULT’ (or whatever it says) after ‘quiet’ ‘splash’

Press ctr-x

Didn’t work. I have noticed that i can boot in safe graphics mode

It would help the troubleshooting to know which version of Kubuntu is on your USB stick, and what model of graphics card is installed.

How long did you wait? Did the same thing when I installed Mine but took about 5 minutes while it loads into ramdisk.

Like @Baz wrote, but instead of just nomodeset try nouveau.modeset=0

You might have to blacklist nouveau, quick google query for “blacklist nouveau” should show how.

Bummer, then I’m out of ideas at the moment. Will write again if I get an idea on what could be done. What I wrote previously sorted my previous problems with nouveau driver.

Good luck

So if you were able to install it to SSD using safe mode graphics, then remove the usb stick and then follow @Baz’s instructions. You should not be getting a try Kubuntu if you are booting from the actual instance installed on the SSD. I think we are missing some information here. Can you boot into recovery or single user mode?

after installing kubuntu on ssd i am not able to see login screen. if i try nomodeset or nouveau.modeset=0 i get a blank screen

Did you choose to “install third party software” during the install? If so, and if this was Kubuntu 19.04, it should have installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers.

If you’re able to drop to a login shell with ctrl-alt-F3, try the commands:

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
sudo reboot
