Clean install of 22.04.2 freezes after login

I have had quite a day with Ubuntu issues.

At 5 pm today I installed an update to 22.04.3. Upon restart I logged back in and was greeted with a black screen. I tried:

(1) Logging in with ctrl + alt + f5 and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop via this post

(2) Everything described here which includes

(a) trying to login with a freshly created user

(b) Deleting nvidia drivers

(3) Someone said removing .config/dconf/user fixed it for them here

None of these solutions worked so I said, whatever, we'll try a clean install

My clean install of 22.04.2, when I log in, I get to a grey screen with a frozen mouse

I'm on a MSI Prestige 15. Not sure what to do about this. Maybe upgrade to 23.04?

edit: I chose the "Erase disk first" option on a 2nd reinstall, which enabled me to get to the desktop. I installed a bunch of common software and thought I was good to go. But no. After shutting down and coming back 2 hrs later, Ubuntu went to the frozen grey screen again after login.

I didnt even change much.

edit2: Now on August 19th after surviving a solid week on Ubuntu, I get the issue again after shutting down my machine and starting it again. I did not even update the software this time, I just installed straight off the 22.04.2 installer

I will have to go back to Windows because this is so bad

I have been dealing with something similar; one suggestion I came across was to use the 6.0 kernel instead of the 6.2 that is shipped with 22.04.3. I am still trying this fix, and will take a couple of days to confirm if the freezing behavior has stopped.

I'm using a fresh install OK but I haven't updated from the default 22.04.3 yet. I suspect that updating will make the issue return

Update: unfortunately, the freezing behavior continues, the 6.0 kernel doesn't seem to have helped.

the `sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinsall` worked for me - full answer here https://askubuntu.com/a/1453254/535677

`sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` gave me `UnboundLocalError: local variable 'version' referenced before assignment` which lead to an answer that said to "work around the autoinstaller" by doing `sudo apt install nvidia-driver-530-open` which appears to have worked for me. I got it to go to the desktop once. We'll see if it lasts.

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.
