error: no server is specified. error: no suitable video mode found. /dev/sdc2: clean, 259918/15630336 files.
After this error screen for few seconds it automatically boots into Ubuntu.
Need Help :)
Nothing to worry about especially if it boots fine and loads your graphical environment. It’s just a grub warning message because grub doesnt play well with (presumably) nvidia. You could probably make some tweaks to remove the error but there’s really no reason to bother.
Let me guess, you have an Nvidia card?
As it boots fine (and changing into wayland later) I think you can just ignore it.

Avoid *buntu.
Apparently this was a controversial take
When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu… and I had a similar issue to the OP.
I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes …it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.
Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I’d take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.
(I use arch btw 🎩)
What did I miss? Ubuntu used to be the shit.
It’s still good, it’s just popular now so the edgelords hate it.
They have made quite a few questionable decisions over time and trying to push users into their own packaging format is a big no no for many. Yours is a very dumb take.
Thanks, edgelord
Can’t make a coherent counter-argument? Just call them and edgelord!
Please let me know which brilliant argument your peer has made that so excited you. Is it the vague “questionable decisions”, the “big no no” or that “Yours is a very dumb take?”
See the other replies that you’ve conveniently ignored for the meat of those decisions.
They basically force you to use snaps, that’s why it’s not good.
They also have ads in the package manager.
Umm what ?
Misinformation.
They also show ads in the MotD on Ubuntu server.
So what’s the misinformation again?
The interpretation of this line. Calling this “ads in the package manager” is intellectually dishonest in my opinion.
For me the question is rather, what’s the current raison d’être for Ubuntu if you’re not looking for Debian with paid support?
Granted it’s been long since I’ve used it (I used it from 2005 or so until 2008 when I switched to Arch), but there’s no really appealing quality for me there that I couldn’t have with Debian. Apart from that, Canonical makes questionable decisions – snap, as others have mentioned, a total disaster in my opinion; Mir was another of their misadventures (later retrofitted into a Wayland compositor); upstart didn’t turn out successful (though to give credit, it was an honest attempt at a new init system and lessons were learned); the LXD maintainer issue as of late leaves a sore taste in my mouth, plus they were always very community-unfriendly with their CLAs. And all this for what? Might as well use their upstream instead.
Ubuntu has the largest community around it, meaning you’ll find help for it the fastest.
Granted, some issues are distro-agnostic, but you can’t always know whether yours is, especially if you are newer to Linux.
Fastest help is Archwiki, even if you run Ubuntu…
Hard false. This is only true for experienced users. For me the Arch wiki is great, for a novice it isn’t.
I disagree. It’s very detailed and I think it can both help a novice and help a novice become less of a novice.
Ubuntu has gotten worse that it seams to was a few years ago. I didn’t use it outside of servers. Many don’t like the direction that ubuntu goes with snaps. But use whatever distro you want
Welcome to the land of freedom
According to DDG it’s a Grub issue. There are a couple of things you could try by searching that error message.
