Updated Linux kernel broke amd drivers

ma flag

Recently I upgraded my Linux kernel from 5.13 to the latest 5.15 on Ubuntu 22.04 but upon that happening the system won’t boot up. I know this has to do with the graphic drivers as the command: lshw -c video in the configuration tab shows configuration: latency=0 which should show some driver but it doesn’t. Then when I run ubuntu-drivers devices it shows absolutely nothing. The drivers I had before where the Mesa drivers just to let you know. So I need a way to either switch the driver or install a new one.

System:

  • CPU: intel core i7-3770
  • GPU: Radeon rx560
  • RAM: 12gb

Notes:

I can boot from a live usb, and just into the recovery mode menu, and lastly my system can’t connect to the internet in the terminal. So to install anything I need to connect to the internet.

Sorry if this is not all the information you need for a diagnostic.

Your timeline makes little sense to me, and I fear this provides clues you're missing. Ubuntu [21.10 used the 5.13 kernel and it reached EOL long ago](https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2022/07/19/ubuntu-21-10-impish-indri-end-of-life-reached-on-july-14-2022/) with systems using it switching to 5.15 before that date (both 20.04 using HWE or 21.10 users when they upgraded to 22.04 which started with 5.15). How do you define *recently*, as you're describing something from late June or early July if not before as I read it; is that *recent*?

@guiverc yah like I did it yesterday, and immediately after I upgraded the system would not boot.

I have the same problem. My Linux Kernel updated to 5.15.0-56 and now the system is not able to boot. I have a black screen.

I can go to the advanced option and boot older Kernel 5.15.0-53 and the system is able to boot.

The question is how to fix this problem without a new installation.

Thx for your help.

I guess I didn’t figure it to be so easy. I went into the advanced options and changed the version and it boots. Thanks

I fix my problem by following the command line on this page. https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-nvidia-driver-ubuntu my fix was: 1 sudo ubuntu-drivers devices 2 sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall 3 sudo shutdown -r now

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.
