I have a asus laptop running ubuntu 22.04, I upgraded from 20.04 a month ago

I noticed since the upgrade, sometimes when exiting the sleeping/suspend mode (not using for 10/15mn) I get stuck on a black screen and I can't do nothing until a hard shutdown (5sec press on power button).

I tried different things I found on internet and none of them worked. I made changes myself which are

in nvidia settings changing from performance mode to power save mode (I have a GT635M)
changed the nvidia driver to the community driver

Then the problem happend again, I shutdown my computer and when rebooting it, I'm stuck on a black screen after cleaning orphans nodes

I started in recovery mode to launch root console, the hard drive works well, I assume there is something with the X server

All of the solutions I found on internet imply to use apt install ..., but even activating the network manager I can't get a internet connection and can't try these solutions

Hence I'm stuck with more or less 2 problems

Having the GUI to works

Having a wifi connection in the recovery console

Few commands I ran :

$ ununtu-drivers devices
Modalias...
Vendor nvidia
Model GF108M [Geforce GT 635M]
Manual_install true
Driver nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended
Driver xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

I also tried dconf reset -f / but can't launch D-bus without $DISPLAY X11

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it

I edited the post, they are both ubuntu desktop, I'm not sure if it was 20.02 or 20.04 and I upgraded to 22.04 I didn't know the differences thank you for your explanations

Ubuntu releases are *year.month* in format; and there was no release in 2020-February (20.02; 2000 is added to the *year*) so I'd check your details. Ubuntu products are developed on a two year cycle; three non-LTS releases before the final LTS which is always the first release of the *even* year.... ie. 22.10 or the recent 2022-October release being the first release on the cycle that will conclude with 24.04. Ubuntu 22.04 = 2022.April release, but 22 was released in 2022.July but no month used as different system (22 & 22.04 are different products)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
