Ubuntu 22.04 is crashing on startup after recent upgrade

cn flag

My Ubuntu is crashing on startup. I'm not a pro user, if I am posting this in a wrong forum, please correct me.

Here are some details

  • Works in recovery mode.
  • Works fine if I start in recovery mode, then continue with normal boot.
  • uname -a result

Linux alyosha-MS-7D30 6.2.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jul 13 16:27:29 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • I have used journalctrl --since today to record full log of a single failed boot session and put it in a github gist. Hopefully it helps
  • I have found several red bugs in the above list, but googling for them did not yield great results for ubuntu

First one

Aug 09 15:51:37 alyosha-MS-7D30 kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
Aug 09 15:51:37 alyosha-MS-7D30 kernel: #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode
Aug 09 15:51:37 alyosha-MS-7D30 kernel: #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page

Second one

Aug 09 15:51:37 alyosha-MS-7D30 systemd-udevd[644]: 0000:01:00.0: Worker [653] failed

Third one

Aug 09 15:51:38 alyosha-MS-7D30 kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Malformed MSFT vendor event: 0x02

Fourth one

Aug 09 15:51:58 alyosha-MS-7D30 gnome-session-binary[1915]: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

Fifth one

Aug 09 15:51:58 alyosha-MS-7D30 gnome-session-binary[1915]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop

Sixth one. This one is quite important, as it is repeated 3 times with a giant dump, I from my forum readings it is related to Gnome failing to start, but I am not sure.

Aug 09 15:51:58 alyosha-MS-7D30 gdm-launch-environment][1868]: GLib-GObject: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Seventh one and related

Could you please advice me how to proceed? I guess I could roll back to a previous kernel or gnome version, but I don't know what sort of rollback do I need and how to do it.

EDIT: I just reverted to the previous kernel version (5.19), and the issues seem to have been solved.

Ubuntu 22.10 is EOL. Search this site for upgrades from obsolete versions.

My bad, I actually have 22.04. I'm sorry for misinforming people, I'll edit the post.

I have also been experiencing random crashes after 6.2
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
