Apologies for not being clear - yes, that resolved it. Also, to clarify by happening again, the kernel changed to 6.14.0-37-generic to trigger it this time.
Thanks for adding more background. TBH, I had to look up what HWE kernels are. So I realize there is some trade-offs on keeping things up to date, but my assumptions (may be wrong, please correct :)) are: 1. A new (HWE) kernel is available. 2. It is installed, including the nvidia drivers for it. 3. During that installation something goes wrong (in this case, not having that latest version of a couple packages, fine, it happens) 4. UEFI/Bootloader is still updated (or automatically uses the latest) - so even though there was a partial installation failure, we switch to that new kernel next time giving a quite poor user experience (i.e. one low-resolution monitor) So my suggestion is a step 3, _if_ something noticeable goes wrong, then the kernel version is not updated - and potentially something is told to the user or reported centrally. Alternatively, if that is somehow not possible, it would seem nice that when booting into a fairly broken kernel that it could tell the user "something critical did not load, do you want the previous version". And I'll re-iterate, I don't know any of the details - just some musings. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2131020 Title: New kernel version failed to prepare nvidia driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2131020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
