Kubuntu stuck on black screen on boot after trying to update to 23.04 Lunar Lobster

Question

I tried updating my Kubuntu system from 22. to 23.04 today and my system didn't go through with the updates. After this, i deleted some third-party files I didn't really need (open-office, teams) and updated again which seemed to work. After restarting my system though, my Kubuntu wouldn't boot and showed an error: [ERROR] Failed to start apport-autoreport.service

enter image description here

I later booted into system to find that the error message didn't appear but I was still stuck on the black screen. How do I fix this? I have importanr data on my drive and I've been trying to get into my login screen for the past day.

Does this answer your question? My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it? — karel, Apr 22 '23 at 22:17

okay once you boot in try swtiching to a different TTY.CTRL+ALT+F4 should work fine. If not try a different F key.This still drop you into a Command shell. Use you're normal user and password to login.

Run sudo apt update to make sure your repos are up to date.

Try running this to ensure you have all the drivers you need installed. sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
