Hi Rick
To narrow down the root cause, Could you please try booting kernel
6.8.0-117-generic with the `nomodeset` kernel parameter?
Steps:
1. At the GRUB boot menu, highlight the 6.8.0-117-generic entry
2. Press `e` to edit
3. Find the line starting with `linux` and add `nomodeset` at the end (before
`quiet splash`)
4. Press `F10` to boot
If the system boots successfully with `nomodeset`, it confirms the issue
is related to the NVIDIA driver initialization rather than the kernel
itself.
I should also share some important context: the nvidia-driver-470 is
end-of-life — NVIDIA no longer maintains or updates this driver branch.
There are probably only two options if it really is NVIDIA driver issue:
1. Pin the working kernel (short-term):
sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic
This keeps you on 6.8.0-111.
2. Switch to the nouveau driver (recommended):
The open-source nouveau driver supports your Kepler GPU and will remain
compatible with future kernel updates.
sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver-470
sudo reboot
Ubuntu will automatically fall back to nouveau.
BR,
An
