Ubuntu only boots through recovery-then-resume (sh.itjust.works)

I see the GRUB menu, then it goes to an inactive black screen. If I select recovery then resume, it works fine. As this is supposed to be a remote machine, the problem defeats the purpose. I've heard this is usually a GPU drivers issue, so I followed the suggestions here: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/graphics/install-nvidia-drivers/index.html

and here (I'm running 22.04 and can't update, separate issue though): https://askubuntu.com/questions/760934/graphics-issues-after-while-installing-ubuntu-16-04-16-10-with-nvidia-graphics

Yet I still have the problem with a black screen. While I'd like it to "just work", I'm also open to extreme measures including...

-removing the GPU (assuming that would help) -having a script run that auto-selects recovery then resume then logs in on my behalf (I'd need help figuring that out though)

I also updated the grub file after adding "nomodeset", that didn't fix it either.

Hit escape when booting to see activity log for boot
Look at system and journal logs to see boot activity
Check dmesg

Post any errors you see there.
