New Kernel 6.14.0-35 broken something

Help
1

Hi people,

Today I’ve update the system with what Discover suggested (24 system things…I remember I’ve seen many kernel things if I’m not in trouble and other things I don’t remember).

I’ve restarted the system and now I have this issue:

  1. I can’t use it with latest kernel version (something like 6.14.0-35). It freezes after I’ve logged in with the loading image (I can’t see the desktop)
  2. A local NTFS hardrive can’t be mounted (before I could without any problem)
  3. My network drives can’t be mounted (they’re network path folder of a file server with kubuntu installed)

Could you give me some advice to start an analisys of what happened and how can I solve?
thanks in advance.

(Sometimes the updates are quite a lottery and, for a noob like me, it’s not a good feeling…I don’t want to do a debate on this…Neon has its philosophy and I accept it…I’ve to understand better if I could change distro with something more tested and have updates more error-proof as possible…it’s something related to me… you guys are doing your best and OK, no problem with Neon development at all)

After make a chkdsk with Windows to the NTFS disk (and correct something. I have this issue everytime I can’t close correctly Neon, this time was due to the frozen system I had to hard reset) I’m able to start the system just using the kernel 6.14.0-34, with all the local and network drives mounted.

So, is there a way to say to GRUB to use that as default?

Or a way to roll back to the working system before the last update? (I don’t have a backup system set like timemachine or something similar)

These are my specs

Operating System: KDE neon User Edition

Yep, you can manually edit the grub config, or you can use Grub Customizer which allows you to easily edit the boot list with a GUI:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:trebelnik-stefina/grub-customizer
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install grub-customizer

Thank you.

I’ve used Grub Customizer and set the version is working.
I’d like to be able to find what’s wrong with the “-35” kernel version but I don’t know how and where to start to check this.

If you have any tips on this it could be more than welcome.

Meanwhile thanks for the Grub Customizer tip.

Your best bet is to check the logs with Ksystemlog. Turn off automatic refresh or it will keep bouncing you to the bottom. You will be able to check the kernel log and see where its having issues.
