Unable to boot in low latency after kernel upgrade - Ubuntu 22.04.2

um flag

I'm on a new machine a couple of weeks old: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 Type 82S9 | 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12450H × 12 | NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile].

I configured it to dual boot Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. Then, I used the Ubuntu Studio Installer to install all Ubuntu Studio components, including the low latency kernel. Everything was working as expected, even though I hadn't installed the NVIDIA driver and was using the default open-source one instead.

A few days ago, I was prompted to upgrade some stuff (I think it was Core 22) and I noticed that the kernel was upgraded. As a result, I haven't been able to boot with "Ubuntu (lowlatency)" since. The screen goes black after the boot dialog.

I can still boot with "Ubuntu (generic)" and with "Windows 11", though.

What I've tried, so far:

  • I installed the NVIDIA driver ... (proprietary, tested);
  • I booted into Ubuntu recovery mode and tried updating the grub bootloader;

While in recovery mode, I was able to check the following information (which didn't change with the update attempt):

  • generic 5.19.0-46
  • lowlatency 5.15.0-76

Is anyone having the same issue? And how to solve it? I appreciate all help.

I had a similar problem: no matter what I did, generic kernel was always used, no matter what Grub options I modified, including stuff that worked for older Ubuntu versions.

I found the answer here. It's a matter of setting GRUB_FLAVOUR_ORDER with the desired "kernel flavor" in /etc/default/grub, update Grub and reboot. Something like this (with sudo):

$ echo 'GRUB_FLAVOUR_ORDER="lowlatency" | tee -a /etc/default/grub
$ update-grub
$ reboot

Hope it helps.

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.
