Public bug reported:
On Alienware 16 Area 51 laptop running Ubuntu 24.04
I got an auto-update to kernel 6.14.0-28-generic and after a restart my display
driver was not working, the screen was blank. After I went back to the grub
menu and forced a reboot into kernel 6.14.0-27-generic the display was working
fine again. However, there is now a problem with apt packages. Whenever I try
to apt-install anything, I get this error:
