Hardware Context

• Nvidia GeForce 960
• Intel i9 11900K
• ASUS TUF GAMING B60M-PLUS

(I think that the only relevant spec is GPU)

Problem

Hi. I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 22.10. A few days passed without major problems, but today I booted into Ubuntu (have dual boot with Windows 11, which is working without any problem) and ended up in emergency mode with following message:

First try

After some googling I decided to blacklist nouveau drivers adding to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

Then running update-initramfs -u and reboot.

Message changed to the following but still not booting into graphic desktop. Fun fact is that font changed to a more stylized one, I think that Ubuntu's terminal default font.

After that, I tried to install nvidia propietary drivers from ubuntu repositories doing apt-get install nvidia-drivers-515, but at the end of the installation, terminal freezes for say 2 minutes and then prompts again with "emergency mode". Nvidia drivers are not installed: dpkg -l shows nothing about nvidia and I can run apt-get install nvidia-drivers-515 again with the exact same result. The same happens with any apt-get or apt command, even update. This already happened before blacklisting nouveau.

I've downloaded drivers from Nvidia site, but I don't know if use it, because when I run it, it shows a warning which says that is better to use distribution packages.

Third shot (UPDATE)

Followed Nmath suggestion and ran ubuntu-drivers autoinstall which installed nvidia drivers. After reboot, I still get into emergency mode, but with a slightly different message: no Bluetooth fail.

You are in emergency mode.

Note the blank line under hdaudio and befor "Emergency mode" prompt.

The problem was /boot/efi entry in /etc/fstab, it was broken, maybe some upgrade messed it up. I don't know if nouveau drivers were the problem at the begining or I was just missleading. Closing this.
