My Kubuntu 22.04 stuck in boot process even in recovery mode. I suspect it has to do with the recent updates, because after installing them and shutting down, the system never reached login screen again. The list of recently installed packages:
2023-02-02 22:34:44 install bat:amd64 <none> 0.19.0-1ubuntu0.1
2023-02-04 10:38:33 install libllvm15:amd64 <none> 1:15.0.6-3~ubuntu0.22.04.2
2023-02-09 20:22:46 install linux-modules-5.15.0-60-generic:amd64 <none> 5.15.0-60.66
2023-02-09 20:22:49 install linux-image-5.15.0-60-generic:amd64 <none> 5.15.0-60.66
2023-02-09 20:22:50 install linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-60-generic:amd64 <none> 5.15.0-60.66
2023-02-09 20:22:58 install linux-headers-5.15.0-60:all <none> 5.15.0-60.66
2023-02-09 20:23:04 install linux-headers-5.15.0-60-generic:amd64 <none> 5.15.0-60.66
The last ones are regular updates asked to be installed by Kubuntu's Discover.
The boot process stops at this stage:
[ OK ] Reached target Host and Network Name Lookups
I don't really mind reinstalling the OS, but is there another way to fix it? Also, what could have happened?
Thank you for your time.
