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
(c) Reinstalling GNOME Display Manager
(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
