Hardware Context
- Nvidia GeForce 960
- Intel i9 11900K
- ASUS TUF GAMING B60M-PLUS
(I think that the only relevant spec is GPU)
Problem
Hi. I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 22.10. A few days passed without major problems, but today I booted into Ubuntu (have dual boot with Windows 11, which is working without any problem) and ended up in emergency mode with following message:
/dev/nvme0n1p5: recovering journal
/dev/nvme0n1p5: clean, 1484190/15171584 files, 18827904/60659968 blocks

You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit"
to boot into default mode.
Press Enter for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):
First try
After some googling I decided to blacklist nouveau drivers adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
Then running update-initramfs -u and reboot.
Message changed to the following but still not booting into graphic desktop. Fun fact is that font changed to a more stylized one, I think that Ubuntu's terminal default font.

After that, I tried to install nvidia propietary drivers from ubuntu repositories doing apt-get install nvidia-drivers-515, but at the end of the installation, terminal freezes for say 2 minutes and then prompts again with "emergency mode". Nvidia drivers are not installed: dpkg -l shows nothing about nvidia and I can run apt-get install nvidia-drivers-515 again with the exact same result. The same happens with any apt-get or apt command, even update. This already happened before blacklisting nouveau.
I've downloaded drivers from Nvidia site, but I don't know if use it, because when I run it, it shows a warning which says that is better to use distribution packages.
Third shot (UPDATE)
Followed Nmath suggestion and ran ubuntu-drivers autoinstall which installed nvidia drivers. After reboot, I still get into emergency mode, but with a slightly different message: no Bluetooth fail.

Note the blank line under hdaudio and befor "Emergency mode" prompt.
ubuntu-drivers autoinstall(which installed nvidia drivers asdpkg -lshows), I rebooted but still enters into emergency mode. I updated my post which this new shot. – Roberto Iglesias Oct 27 '22 at 00:48
