After upgrading to 24.10, booting results into a black screen in a loop (with a cursor)

Question

After upgrading from 24.04 to 24.10, the boot stucks in a loop, just before the login screen. I can move the mouse on the black screen, but the page is refreshing every few seconds, showing a blinking cursor at the top of the screen.

When Ubuntu is loading, there is an error message:

ee1004 3-0050: probe with driver ee1004 failed with error -5

I'm using kernel 6.11.0-12-generic and my video card is a Radeon RX 580.

I have tried the following:

1. Updated the BIOS of my Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS.
2. Added nomodeset in GRUB.
3. Tried to use the older kernel 6.8.0-50-generic.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

After changing lightdm to gdm3 and reboot, I managed to login normally with the gdm login interface.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
