It sounds like you may have accidentally removed "quiet" and "splash"
when you edited the boot options in /etc/default/grub file and added
either the "nomodeset" or "nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0".

The "quiet" option prevents the kernel from producing any output.
If you boot without this option, you'll see lots of kernel messages,
such as drivers/modules activations, file system checks, and errors.

The "splash" option displays an eye-candy loading screen while all
the core parts of the system are loaded in the background. If you
boot without this option and the "quiet" option is enabled, you'll get
a blank screen.

You can check /etc/default/grub file to see if the options are "quiet
splash nomodeset" if you don't have an NVIDIA card or "quiet splash
nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" if you do have an NVIDIA card and edit
the file again if they're not.

I use the latter one and get just a splash screen followed by the
log-in.
