Ubuntu noble repositories are broken atm. This is related to recent cve related to the backdoor in xz (liblzma) package. The cve number is CVE-2024-3094, many packages might be broken as they're being rebuilt during this time.
Meanwhile you can add an override to apt configuration so all proper dependency versions would be selected properly as w/o that there might be some incompatibilities. Add a file to /etc/apt/preferences.d with contents like below then run 'apt clean' and 'apt update'. The example below is if you're using only noble and noble-updates archives, customize it for your needs if any, check your /etc/apt/sources.list for what archives you have enabled. Package: * Pin: release a=noble-updates Pin-Priority: 1002 Package: * Pin: release a=noble Pin-Priority: 1001 Don't forget to add a newline between each override rule group or the override might not work properly. Also you should add a rule for each archive and set priority to -1 for noble-proposed archive so packages from it would be downgraded or uninstalled if you have one. I also wouldn't recommend running apt dist-upgrade on graphical interface if the driver is buggy. Run it from text mode instead (e.g. enter ctrl-alt-f1 and log in). Also post what driver, graphics card and desktop you have. ** CVE added: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2024-3094 -- 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/2060189 Title: "apt-get dist-upgrade" command causes the graphic display to stop working - OS is broken Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: "apt-get dist-upgrade" command causes the display to stop working - OS is broken OS: Ubuntu Noble 24.04 LTS Kernel: 6.8.0 Canonical Command: apt-get dist-upgrade Status: First installation and execute dist-upgrade command to have latest packages.
