Leo, I've looked at the apt logs you've provided, and they explain why things were broken for you after upgrade, but the key question remains unanswered:
Why is the linux-generic package not installed here? Nothing in your history.log, starting July 5, shows it being removed. It (or an equivalent metapackage) is *always* installed as part of an install. So there doesn't appear to be a kernel bug here, and if there is a bug in Ubuntu (as opposed to user error by forcing the removal of this metapackage), we need to see when the package disappeared from your system in order to further analyze it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1982477 Title: Black screen, i915 not loaded with 5.15.0-41 (but 5.15.0-40 works) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading my Linux kernel to version 5.15.0-41, I am no longer able to get into the UI.
