System loads only in the recovery mode

Help
1

Well the main issue is in the title.

It happened today, randomly. It used to load, but something happened, idk?

I tried to search the net and find this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1cjwln1/black_screen_after_install_kubuntu_2404/

After that I tried to change kernel parameters, but no luck.

I also tried to put in the console this:

wget https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.78/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.78.run

chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.78.run

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.78.run --dkms

And again no luck. BUT something is changed. Now I can load the system with the different version of kernel (not the default). It’ boots in wacky resolution tho.

So now I literally don’t know what to do and how to troubleshoot this.

Here is my kinfo:

Operating System: Kubuntu 25.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.17.0-8-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H
Memory: 40 GiB of RAM (38.9 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

I also have 2k 16:10 internal monitor if it’s somehow the problem.

And I also have dual boot with windows 11 as a second system.

Hope for help. Any tips will be useful for me.

if you are booting ok from an older kernel you can likely just do

sudo apt update and it should reinstall the newer kernel

or you can try to update the all the kernels based on the the one you are running with

sudo update-initramfs -k all -c

short of that i would uninstall all the nvidia stuff and go back to relying on the kernel driver until you can regroup and try again.

i would never use wget to install anything tho… just go with the nvidia drivers that are included with the 25.10 repositories.

welp I downloaded fedora

I gave up but now i do not have any problems

fedora does not come with proprietary drivers so you are likely using the kernel drivers, which was my recommendation until you can regroup.
