So, I still dont' understand how/why but I seem to have solved it by: (1) I changed /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_TERMINAL=console GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text nosplash debug loglevel=7 apic=verbose --verbose" (the change to the line above was only adding "text" parameter) (2) I installed ubuntu-budgie-desktop (3) Purged any nvidia package (4) Installed the nouveau XOrg package. Rebooted (4) Installed nvidia drivers using the UI "Software Updater" tool (in settings) Things are booting normally in kernel 6.2.0 now, and things look normal so far. Curiously now 5.17.5 doesnt' boot, but it doesnt' matter, since I can make it work with 6.2.0. Now some stuff I need to re-install (nvidia support for dockers for instance). But I'll mark this as resolved for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020647 Title: Upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10 won't boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I was actually meaning to upgrade to 23.04, but the updater offered to upgrade to 22.10 first, so I supposed this was needed. After a standard upgrade with the UI, even the recovery boot never passes the "Loading initial ramdisk ..." line -- it silently freezes. I have removed the "quiet splash" options in grub by "dis_ucode_ldr", following some random article. Anyway, nothing is displayed after "Loading initial ramdisk ..." line. I have the following kernel installed: 5.19.0-42-generic 5.17.5-051705-generic 5.15.36-051536-generic 5.15.0-27-generic (*) 5.13.0-19-generic Plus a dual-boot windows. Just the 5.15.0-27-generic boots, but it doesn't mount ethernet for some reason. My motherboard uses Realtek 8125, and it used to work just fine 10 minutes ago (in 22.04), but now I'm not able to install `r8125-dkms` module, because I dont' have the linux-headers version installed for that kernel ... I'm also not able to find it to download. I also have an old 2080ti NVidia card, in case that has any effect on this. Any suggestions ?
