TLDR: 5.19.0-50-generic is working but I have to select it from advanced ubuntu options on each restart. (Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, after NVIDIA driver install when no space on disk)
Complete story:
My disk was full. I didn't know. I restarted the computer and the resolution was very bad. I tried to install NVIDIA driver when I received the message that the disk is full. Somehow, before deleting files to have space, the installer told me to restart to apply changes.
When I restarted I received a black screen. Ctrl + Alt + F1, etc didn't work. So, all I had was a black screen on each restart. Recovery mode didn't work - just saying forever Loading...
I solved the disk space problem using a bootable USB with Ubuntu live. Now I have 20 GB free. It did not solve the black screen.
I tried the recovery mode again. I had the menu by pressing Shift on start. The first option: linux-image-6.2.0-1010-gcp is starting now, but the resolution is bad, also the internet is not working. I tried to install drivers downloading them on other computer. Not working.
But I found 5.19.0-50-generic is working in my case. It seems everything is good if I select this option in that menu. (I don't select the recovery mode, but the normal mode.)
I not good with this type of work, but somehow I have my PC working again. This is what I have now:
$ uname -r
5.19.0-50-generic
Also this is the list of possible versions I think:

The question is how can I make sure, the computer will work after restart without new configuration? Also how can I make sure my Ubuntu is updated? (I already run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoremove)
Also if you can explain what that menu really means? (the menu with options for advanced starting). Thank you very much.
