I'm having the exact same problem as this post: UNABLE TO BOOT INTO GUI MODE
Everything works fine except GUI mode. I can boot normally into console mode, and I can ssh in no problem.
But when I choose "Boot GUI" I get the boot log as usual, then the screen goes blank and I get a blinking cursor at the top-left corner of my screen.
I've tried the "nomodeset" fix and it didn't help.
I bet if I could disable UEFI mode it would work fine, since that seems to have fixed it for others.
HOWEVER... my motherboard is an ASRock J4105M and it does not have a traditional BIOS. It only has UEFI according to tech support. Even if I disable "Fast Boot" mode it still boots UEFI. As far as I can tell there is no way to disable UEFI and boot traditional BIOS. And it appears that I need traditional BIOS to make GUI mode work.
Are there any other workarounds that I can pursue to get GUI mode to work?
