Install Kubuntu 18.04 on Precision 5820
Hello,
I am trying to install Kubuntu 18.04 on Dell Precision 5820 tower, but when I chose to start Kubuntu on the boot I got a scribbled screen and then became black and nothing happens. However Ubuntu 20.04 works well, Moreover, when using the same usb drive to install Kubuntu in another machine like Dell Vostro everything works well. Any suggestion to solve this issue, please.
Kind regards,
xerotope

Without knowing more about the 5820 configuration, my guess is it's a graphics driver issue. The Nouveau, open source Nvidia driver, that ships with 18.04 has a lot of issues.
In the grub boot menu, you should have the option to edit the configuration. I would try adding "nomodeset" to the kernel line as described here https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000123893/manual-nomodeset-kernel-boot-line-option-for-linux-booting
