P.S. Sorry for putting in a pdf, not txt but the content was so long that it prevented to be attached as txt file...

"[drm] failed to load ucode" and "amdkcl: module verification failed" from the journal suggest a required module can't be loaded. I'm not looking for anything more in your .pdf because nothing found can be copied and pasted here. Likely there is more to be found. The journal needs to be uploaded somewhere that it can be read as ordinary plain text, such as pastebinning does.

Only one useless page to open there in w3m or any other basic plain text browser not supporting scripts. OP had the right idea in his OP, pastebin.com, but there are many others well suited for viewing the original log text as text.

Xorg.0.log shows fatal errors, as expected from the 65 mostly amdgpu and drm ~"fail" lines in the journal. With so many, I don't know what to make of them. I suggest to web search some of those amdgpu and drm messages to see if they are associated with your same GPU model and a solution. First make sure all these are installed:
Code:

alsa-firmware-loaders
firmware-amd-graphics
firmware-linux-free
firmware-misc-nonfree
firmware-sof-signed
libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64
libdrm-common
libdrm2:amd64
libva-drm2:amd64
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu

If all are, consider reinstalling them. It might be easier just to pick a different distro to install. Your CPU & GPU should be well supported regardless which distro you pick.

Hello,
Thank you for advice. I tried to check if these packages you listed are installed. I used apt search command. believe (as i'm an inexperienced linux user :-( ) that now i have all installed (some of them i just installed) except:
firmware-amd-graphics
firmware-linux-free
firmware-misc-nonfree
libdrm-amdgp
When i tried to install them using apt-get install i got the following message:
"sudo apt-get install (package name)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package firmware-amd-graphics is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package (package name) has no installation candidate"

Not sure what I can do with that?

Apparently I must have made that list from booting a wrong distro instead of Mint 21.2. The list should have been acquired from running dpkg-query -W | egrep 'amdgpu|microcode|x-firm|sof-|drm' to produce:
Code:

amd64-microcode
firmware-sof-signed
intel-microcode
libdrm-amdgpu1
libdrm-common
libdrm-intel1
libdrm-radeon1
libdrm2:amd64
libva-drm2
linux-firmware
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu

Hi.
I reinstalled the Mint in edge version and updated the kernel to the latest one i.e. 6.33.
I also run the check you suggested and all the modules listed are there. See the output:
dpkg-query -W | egrep 'amdgpu|microcode|x-firm|sof-|drm'
amd64-microcode 3.20191218.1ubuntu2.2
firmware-sof-signed 2.0-1ubuntu4.4
intel-microcode 3.20231114.0ubuntu0.22.04.1
libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1
libdrm-common 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1
libdrm-intel1:amd64 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1
libdrm-nouveau2:amd64 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1
libdrm-radeon1:amd64 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1
libdrm2:amd64 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1
libva-drm2:amd64 2.14.0-1
linux-firmware 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.23
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu 22.0.0-1ubuntu0.2


Still, I got blackscreen unless i started in 'revovery" mode - then i got the latop display working but not the HDMI display. I recalled the parameter that i set up several months ago in the grub while trying to get the linux lubuntu start up.
These were: acpi=off $vt=handoff.
Can't recall how i came to add those. Anyway, it worked then and it works now, that is the linux starts. Unfortunately, it does not activate the external display connected to HDMI.
any ideas how to fix it?
