Several days ago Kubuntu stopped booting normally from the GRUB menu (Windows 10 dual boot).
At first I thought it was related to a Windows update but after repairing GRUB and also running update-grub
from Kubuntu it still doesn't seem to work:
Error Symptoms
- Let the default boot option of Kubuntu start after a 10 second countdown
- Blank black screen is shown
- Reboot
- Select Advanced boot options --> choose another kernel version (normal)
6.2.0-23
- Boots into Kubtunu login screen ok
Troubleshooting Steps
Removed all USB-C peripherals, disconnected second monitor
Cleaned APT packages
Changed Nvidia driver package to a older stable version (driver version 525)
Still the same issue persists.
Any ideas?
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
from https://askubuntu.com/a/974910/1644717 helped me resolving it. Trying to just update the nvidia driver from TTY did not resolve the issue for me. – Dudly01 Jun 19 '23 at 15:54Since I still have the kernel 6.2.0-20, I can still boot on it. I'm hoping a new NVidia driver (assuming that is the cause) will hopefully fix it.
Someone should add a test for that, and not allow the release, or create some incompatibility list, and mark the kernel as incompatible with NVidia driver.
