'black screen', 'ubuntu', 'blinking cursor', 'nVidia' do not describe a bug, but instead are common characteristics of many thousands of different bugs. Although bug 1975650 doesn't seem to describe a black screen problem, if you find that reinstalling the driver fixed the issue (comment #25) then we should keep this as a duplicate of bug 1975650. One possible reason for a black screen is that Nvidia systems are known to sometimes boot to the wrong VT, or even log into the wrong VT. The workaround for that is to use Ctrl+Alt+F1-FN to find the correct screen. Like in bug 1960868 and bug 1878838. If your black screen problem persists after reinstalling the Nvidia driver, or if you would like to continue debugging that issue, then please use 'journalctl -b-1' or similar to collect a full system log from when the black screen was occurring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1990750 Title: Boot issue with Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu since Kernel 5.19.0.15.15, now hanging with blinking cursor after update to Kernel 5.19.0.21.21 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When starting the PC, the splash screen freezes with the motherboard logo displayed. As my disk is encrypted the decryption field does not appear below the logo. By typing [ALT] + [CTRL] + [DEL] then the splash screen appears again followed by a start-up menu with the following line: *Ubuntu Advanced options for Ubuntu By selecting 'Advanced options for Ubuntu' the following submenu appears: *Ubuntu, with Linux5.19.0-15-generic Ubuntu, with Linux5.19.0-15-generic (recovery mode) Selecting the second option, then the system starts loading with the initial lines of code: Loading Linux 5.19.0-15-generic ... Loading initial ramdisk ... When code has finished loading, the last line at the bottom of the screen is for unlocking the disk: Begin: Mounting root fie system ... Begin Running /script/local-top ... Please unlock disk nvme0n1p3_crypt: Then i type in the code and hit [return] and more code is loading, until a recovery menu with purple background appears, with the title: Recovery Menu (filesystem state: read-only). I select the first menu item: resume Resume normal boot and hit [return]. The menu changes to the notification: You are now going to exit the recovery mode bla bla bla with the [OK] button below it. I hit the [OK] button and then the login screen finally appears. I will post a video of the complete boot sequence later on as I need to install a softaware to edit the video. It is noteworthy that on my previous Ubuntu 22.04 install the same issue with the frozen splash screen occurred when my system was updated with Kernel 5.15.5, but then I did not try out to execute the [ALT] + [CTRL] + [DEL] command. Therefore the bug is probably affecting all kernels from 5.15.5 upwards.
