I don't know how it happened, but most likely after updating the packages, I can no longer run 5.8.0-63-generic. After the loading animation, I just get a purple screen. I tried to press Ctrl + Alt + F1 or Ctrl + Alt + Delete after that I see my account and login screen for a second, after that the screen freezes and I cannot see the keyboard input. At the same time the screen resolution is rather strange like 640x480.

I tried to use Advanced options for Ubuntu after BIOS logo. I have 4 options:

Ubuntu, with Linux 5.8.0-63-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 5.8.0-63-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, with Linux 5.8.0-59-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 5.8.0-59-generic (recovery mode)

First 2 options not working at all. In recovery mode I got this: screen

Then everything freezes and nothing happens.

In 5.8.0-59-generic option everything works fine. I tried to determine what happened after update and checked update list of packages: screen

Can somebody give me any advice to boot into 5.8.0-63-generic again?

Booted into 5.8.0-59-generic and installed ssh:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ssh
sudo reboot

Booted into 5.8.0-63-generic and connected via ssh and then:

sudo apt purge nvidia*
sudo reboot

After reboot everything started working again. I was guided by this post: https://askubuntu.com/a/1129890/884692
