Since yesterday’s Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) update, I’m not able to boot my Ubuntu partition anymore, here’s what I’m seeing in the bootlogs after removing “quiet splash” from the `bootcmd`:

I suspect is some kind of failed kernel update but from I recall from yesterday night, no software update errors popped up, everything went smoothly 😕

Also, the Windows 11 partition boots fine, so I guess it’s safe to discard any kind of hardware issue. Furthermore, I have secure boot disabled and TPM “hidden” on the BIOS, so those are out of the question (searched this forum before posting this ;).

Anyhow, has anybody experienced something similar and has a speedy fixing tips ready?

I found a very similar thread/screenshot: [[SOLVED] Ubuntu won't boot, hangs when displaying logs](http://community.frame.work/t/solved-ubuntu-wont-boot-hangs-when-displaying-logs/29148)

I’ll try the advice given there… seems like only the `ubuntu-desktop` is at fault.

Fixed it booting to recovery, plugging to the 2.5G ethernet dongle and running the following commands when dropping into the shell:

```shell
service systemd-networkd start
networkctl up 3
dhcpcd enx9cb... (ethernet adapter name shown in `ip addr show`)
apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

```

Hope it helps either forgetful me in the future or somebody else 😃

Couldn’t tilt up the wireless on via the console via similar commands as above (via network manager)… anybody else knows?

I know how to do it via `wpa-supplicant` but wanted to know how it’s done nowadays with network manager in recovery mode?

I’d stick with the method that worked for you. 🙂

Well, I was lucky to have the ethernet adapter AND be nearby my router but I’d like to know how that works when I only have wifi available and I’m on the go :-S
