It shows the Framework logo for a couple of seconds (but no ubuntu or kubuntu logo), and then the screen just goes black, no cursor, nothing. But the powerbutton glows. If I press esc, nothing happens (Normally, I think it shows the output of the boot process)
I'm not sure what you mean with f12, and I haven't tried it, but I will probably tomorrow.
From the sounds of it, the OS might not be starting at all, which is a very strange thing to happen after installing a desktop environment. My best guess is that apt uninstalled something important. As other folks said Ubuntu 24.04 is pretty unstable at the moment, so you might have more luck with Fedora, or Ubuntu 22.04 or 23.10. One thing you could try is booting into your (K)ubuntu live medium and running
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
, to reinstall the bootloader, just in case something broke it.Pressing F12 while the Framework logo is visible (but before the OS starts) opens the BIOS boot menu. I assumed incorrectly that that is what you were trying to do with Escape. Trying to boot that way might help elucidate why the OS won't start. You could also get into BIOS settings that way, or boot a USB drive.
