In order to view detailed startup logs, I modified the GRUB-CMDLINE-LINUX-DEFAULT parameter in /etc/default/grub by removing quiet and splash, as follows:
GRUB-CMDLINE.LINUX DEFAULT=""
But after logging in, the logs will no longer be displayed.

After reviewing the following forums and problem posts, no solution was found:

Please help to find the problem, thanks.
