Bug description
After updating today, upon boot and after logout, there is no graphic output either from the graphics card or onboard cpu graphics. I can still type in password and log in. Upon login everything works as normal but after the mint emblem finishes the screen goes blank and monitor reads no source.
Steps to reproduce
log out / boot
Expected behavior
unit would boot to login screen. log out would go to login screen.
Additional information
I have ensured all of my drivers are up to date, and have run reconfigure on lightdm with no effect.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the blank login screen during boot and logout on Mint 22.1 with Cinnamon 6.8.0-62-generic and the listed AMD graphics hardware. Compare the login-screen behavior with the successful post-login session and investigate the greeter startup path. Done means graphical output returns reliably at both boot and logout.
