On Friday 12th August, When trying to upgrade UbuntuStudio 20.04.4 to 22.04.1 by the network:

  • download was done correctly
  • Upgrading progession was correct.progression

After restarting:

  • the message "mtd device must be supplied (device name is empty)" was displayederror message
  • the login window doesn't appear, it stucks on the Ubuntustudio first display.ubuntustudio

Most of answer on the forum does not match to solve the issue.

What does mean this message "mtd device must be supplied (device name is empty)"?

Does Anyone have a solution to fix it?

Regards

    Duplicate of mtd device must be supplied (device name is empty)? – Organic Marble Aug 16 '22 at 20:46
  • Remove the mtd references from title and question or it will be closed as a duplicate of a warning message. You have another problem, not getting beyond the startup screen at first boot. How long did you wait on this screen? – ubfan1 Aug 16 '22 at 21:27
  • @ubfan1 waiting was up to one night – raerband Aug 17 '22 at 04:39
  • Likely a video problem. What video hardware do you have(Nvidia,...?)? How did you install any proprietary drivers? Many solutions here for such problems, start by cleaning out all packages installed for the video driver, remove any repositories added for video, and reinstall using the standard repos with ubuntu-drivers or the Software and Updates/Additional drivers. I and many others get the "mtd" message, it really is not a problem. – ubfan1 Aug 17 '22 at 15:13
  • I had 100Gig of hard drive, 54% were used and 46% free; That's why i think, it is not a problem of storage space. – raerband Aug 18 '22 at 07:31

I have the same issue, and have done for over a month now. No fixes have been made that eliminate my issue. I run a dual monitor system and the only way to boot for me is either:

  1. Unplug one monitor while booting, and plug it back in once I have logged in, or
  2. Boot via recovery mode, run a dpkg check (which returns zero issues), and then resume normal boot.

GPU: RTX 3080ti GPU Driver: NVIDIA version 515.65.01 OS: Kubuntu 22.04 LTS Kernel: 5.15.0-46-generic 64-bit

There is a fix given here, however this does not solve my issue. If you scroll down, people have given other workarounds too, including making an edit to etc/fstab, although I do not know what I should be changing in there and therefore do not want to accidentally make matters worse for myself.
