Ubuntu 22.10 broken after update

A few days ago I updated Ubuntu 22.10 and when I rebooted the system I had the following issues:

The computer couldn't connect to the internet in any way (with wi-fi, with ethernet or with usb)
The bluetooth adapter wasn't detected either
The refresh rate of the screen was set to 60hz (normally it's in 144hz) and NVIDIA X Server settings is not detecting my GPU anymore

If I go to the advanced settings in GRUB, I can see that the system is booting in Ubuntu, with Linux 5.19.0-1015-oracle. If I boot in the other option available in the menu (Ubuntu, with Linux 5.19.0-29-generic) everything works great again. Is this some kind of issue with the Kernel? In that case, what should I do to fix it?

Edit: if I run dkms status in the working kernel it shows the following xpad/0.4, 5.19.0-29-generic, x86_64: installed
Just to clarify: I never tried to install any additional kernel or anything like that. I have no idea of what is this oracle kerneltree/oracle cloud infrastructure. I only installed some programs in .deb and flatpak packaging format but nothing else.
Could it be that this auto-installed by itself with the update or something like that? And should I do something to uninstall it?

Edit 2:
this is the output of dpkg -l | grep oracle:

ii  linux-image-5.19.0-1015-oracle                  5.19.0-1015.17                            amd64        Signed kernel image oracle

and this is the complete output of sudo apt update:

Boot up the working kernel and show `dkms status` add this to your question please [edit] and do you really need this oracle kerneltree?

Are you running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? If no, you should boot the normal kernel.

Can confirm - this happened to me too on a Lenovo P1 Gen2 and 22.10. Was suspicious about the kernel, your post helped me temporarily resolve this - choosing `29-generic` worked for me. (GJ Google for indexing this so quick.) Seems like the `oracle` kernels are for Oracle Cloud systems, I do wonder why it was auto-installed on my machine.

Please [edit your question](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1451352/edit) to show us the complete output of `sudo apt update`. It may be lengthy -- show us all of it.

And also `dpkg -l | grep oracle` please.

The problem is in the kernel. What do you need the oracle kernel for? Delete it with apt purge.

Please remove the 4 packages with oracle in name.

I'm on a Dell XPS and had this also happen when pulling in normal updates today. Removing the Oracle kernel did the trick, you should write that as an answer. Thank you!

After using Advanced options for Ubuntu on boot and choosing a non-oracle Kernel, the following command solved it for me permanently (by uninstalling all packages with 'oracle' in their name and its additional data files):

dpkg -l | grep oracle | awk -F ' ' '{print $2}' | while read line ; do sudo apt -y purge $line ; done;

You can also run the following command to confirm what will be removed, prior to running the purge command:

dpkg -l | grep oracle | awk -F ' ' '{print $2}' | while read line ; do echo "sudo apt purge $line" ; done;

P.S. - Pretty odd that some of those leaving comments above write to you as if you chose to install an Oracle Cloud kernel. :facepalm: Ubuntu in 2023..

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.
