As https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-driver- manager/+bug/1994035 is marked a duplicate and just affected me twice in a month, I believe this to be still open. In my case, it was the VirtualBox extensions and Nvidia drivers that got trashed by an automatic system kernel update.
What happened? • System installed updates, including a new kernel. • After updates, on the next boot with eGPU, X11 didn't load, and I got an error message during boot that the VirtualBox kernel extensions couldn't be loaded. What workaround helped? • Boot without eGPU. • uname -a to check the kernel version • sudo apt-get install linux-headers-… matching the kernel version • reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993370 Title: Cannot install proprietary Broadcom WiFi drivers on Ubuntu Studio Jammy 22.04.2 and Kinetic Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in software-properties source package in Jammy: Confirmed Status in software-properties source package in Kinetic: Fix Committed Bug description: Hardware: HP Elitebook 8570p, 16 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD, 3rd Gen Intel Core i5, UEFI, no secure boot, Broadcom WiFi.
