I ran into this problem with a new install of 20.04 on a Dell Optiplex 5060.
This system has integrated Display Ports. Hangs at boot with Ubuntu spinning for hours.
My configuration has a single monitor attached via Display port/HDMI cable and DVI adapter to monitor DVI input.

Two workarounds mentioned here worked for me:
1) boot with monitor cable unplugged and then plug cable in to see login screen
2) remove "splash quiet" in /etc/default/grub, then boot to login screen
