@philosophique: Don't _hold_ Escape at boot -- _tap_ it _once_ (press- and-release, just like normal typing) when the machine's boot logo appears. If you still can't get the grub menu, then try booting the -157 kernel again from the grub prompt, but leave off the "quiet splash nomodeset" part. (You don't want the boot to be quiet; you want it to be noisy.) If that does not succeed, try with the "ro" option (without the quotes). If that does not succeed, finally try with "ro recovery nomodeset" (without the quotes).
If that still does not work, try what William suggested: get a bootable USB stick for Mint Victoria or Virginia, and use it to timeshift your installation. (Or probably the USB stick also allows you to boot from disk, chaining into the Grub menu on your harddrive. If so, select Advanced options there, and choose the -157 kernel.) Once you've booted into your own system, first install a 6.8 kernel. Use the Update Manager and find in the menus where it says something about kernels. Use that to install the latest kernel from the 6.8 series -- it's not affected by this issue (at least not on my machine). Then reboot and do a normal system update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2128729 Title: Kernel 5.15.0-160 boots without any video output (on AMD) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2128729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
