Maybe this is related: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. From Aug 4, 2023 on the Software Updater tool offered to make a partial upgrade to install some software updates which also included the removal of 3 packets: - gthumb - ubuntu-unity-desktop - steam-installer The latter two are just metapackages to I thought they would not possible remove Unity and Steam itself, and I started the upgrade. Steam and gthumb were removed (but games and settings still intact). The Unity desktop was not removed.
Among the updates was a minor update the Nvidia-535 driver (new version 535.86.05). During the installation of this update, the screen became black with a blinking cursor on the top left while the laptop fans started speeding as a sign for high or full CPU/GPU load. After a while, I tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 to F7 but this made the screen completely black and unresponsive. After another while, I rebooted with SysReq-SUB. Afterwards the system would not boot to the GUI and I needed to complete the Nvidia installation: sudo dpkg --configure -a My system seems to be okay now, except for the uninstalled packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030262 Title: System broken after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2030262/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
