Hi all,

I installed Lubuntu 22.04.2 LTS in dual boot with Windows 7. In grub, when I choose to start Lubuntu normally, I get stuck at the “Powered by Lubuntu” screen.

However, if I choose the recovery menu and then just choose the option “Resume normal boot” Lubuntu boots normally.

To find a solution, I've done countless procedures: I'll list them below:

1. I created bootable USB in countless ways, with different Linux distros, all distros were downloaded via torrent.

2. I used the Linux bootable USB creator tools, I also used Rufus and Etcher. In Rufus I tested several options.

3. In all Linux distros the system only boots normally in recovery mode.

4. I haven't tested another USB stick because this USB stick installs Windows perfectly.

5. I already deleted the Kernel that boots by default to force the system to boot by the old Kernel, it didn't solve it.

6. I also already set Grub to boot in recovery mode by default, but it doesn't boot either, it only boots if I manually go into recovery mode.

When I hide the splash screen I don't see any errors.

The output of the journalctl -b -1 command is in pastebin.

How can I fix it?

yea SystemD! I don't think it has anything to do with bad disk or it would tell you. when you get into it then search how to turn off that splash screen so you can see what is going on while it is booting. check the logs they should be in /var/log(s) look at (sudo) dmesg

It's a long shot, but try booting to a Live CD/USB of something, mounting the (probably) root partition of the hard drive, and looking at the log files. I'd start with /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/syslog. They might give you some hints as to why the system is not loading.

No mention of checksum done. Are You sure you do not have corrupted download.
