It's showing me:

[ FAILED] Failed to start Process Error reports when automatic reporting is enabled

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 GPU installed in the system is supported through the NVIDIA 390.xx Legacy drivers. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more information. The 535.154.05 NVIDIA driver will ignore this GPU. Continuing probe...

I can boot into TTY#s, but they keep on getting overridden by the NVRM messages.

There is a tool called ubuntu-drivers that lets you list and switch all available drivers.

$ ubuntu-drivers
Usage: ubuntu-drivers [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --gpgpu              gpgpu drivers
  --free-only          Only consider free packages
  --package-list PATH  Create file with list of installed packages (in install mode)
  --no-oem             Do not include OEM enablement packages (these enable an external archive)
  -h, --help           Show this message and exit.


Commands:
  debug        Print all available information and debug data about drivers.
  devices      Show all devices which need drivers, and which packages...
  install      Install a driver [driver[:version][,driver[:version]]]
  list         Show all driver packages which apply to the current system.
  list-oem     Show all OEM enablement packages which apply to this system

So as long as you can get to a prompt you can switch to another driver.

Use ubuntu-drivers --gpgpu list (or list-oem) to show the available drivers and 'install' to install the chosen one.

  • I apologize, but I'm an extremely inexperienced Ubuntu user... how do I access that if I can't boot into it? – riesen mihar Jan 31 '24 at 08:42
  • that is vital information but is not part of the question -) if you can not boot into Ubuntu why not ask about that? more important: where does it stop? can you at that point use control-alt-f1 to get to a login? please add those things to the question (comments are not good for that) – Rinzwind Jan 31 '24 at 08:58
