New update:
I was able to get my system to boot with the nvidia-drivers-515 package, just not the nvidia-drivers-525 one. 3d acceleration doesn't work.
I tried using a 5.19.0 kernel I had on my system, and with the nvidia drivers, it worked fine. I removed liquorix and installed "ubuntu mainline" 6.0 kernel, and that didn't work. But 5.19.0 does. So there's something with the 6.0+ kernels that doesn't play nicely with nvidia driver 525, at least on my system.
Original post below:
I did a package update, and rebooted my computer. From that point forward, it doesn't boot. I found previous suggestions here for solutions, but none have worked, and it was enough for me to just ask a new question. Things I have tried:
Attempt #1:
- Got into recovery mode
- Dropped to a root shell
- Ran
apt purge nvidia* -y ; apt autoremove --purge -y ; apt clean
- Ran
ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
- Rebooted with no success.
Attempt #2
I tried steps 1-3 above, rebooted, and could get in without the nvidia drivers installed. however, Ubuntu seems to correct this oversight on my end, and automatically reinstalls the drivers so on the next boot they exist and I am stuck. This also prevents me from using my video card's 3d acceleration at all.
Attempt #3
I tried steps 1-3 above. I removed the ppa for graphics-drivers, did a apt update, and then did steps 4-5. No change in result.
Attempt #4
I tried steps 1-3 above, I then used ubuntu-drivers devices, found the correct package (525) and then tried just manually installing this directly, and this didn't do anything.
Attempt #5
Like Attempt #4, but I tried different versions (510, 490, etc), to no effect.
I am stuck, and am really hoping someone can help me figure this out. Thanks.
