Solved MSI Laptop not booting after going from Ubuntu 24.04 to 22.04

[acs30]

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I need some help.

I have a MSI Stealth 14 AI Studio OLED A1VFG-034XES Intel Core Ultra 7 155H/16GB/1TB SSD/RTX 4060/14.

I was running successfully Ubuntu 24.04, but for some work related reasons (I need ROS2 Humble) I need to go back to 22.04.

After installing ubuntu, when it reboots it gets stuck in the MSI and Ubuntu loading screen. I have disable Secure and Fast boot.

When I installed 24.04 I was able to select the nvidia drivers during the installation process. During the 22.04 the only option was to select the third party drivers, which I did, but I couldn't specify the drivers that I needed.

Thank you very much for your help,

PS: I also tried running pop-os as as far as I know works better with Nvidia drivers. And it works without a problem, but I need Ubuntu 22.04

I've solve it lol.
I post the solution for anyone that has the same problem in a future.

I booted into recovery mode (pressing Shift when booting)

Once there selected Advanced Ubuntu options, and selected the older kernel.
And it booted without any problem.

Then it was just a matter of changing the default kernel.
Which I did like mentioned in this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526087/setting-the-desired-kernel-in-grub-menu

Sorry for opening a thread and closing it, but I've being stuck all night with this.

I see you already resolved it but sounds like the os was probably already loading or loaded but could not load the graphical environment. If that is the case you can switch to a tty and fix it from there, most people that need newer Nvidia drivers use the following ppa.

Proprietary GPU Drivers : “Graphics Drivers” team

Fresh drivers from upstream, currently shipping Nvidia. ## Current releases Current production branch release: 550.107.02 Current new feature branch release: 555.58.02 Current beta release: 560.28.03 ## Legacy releases 470.256.02 (x86_64) - GKxxx “Kepler” GPUs 390.157 (x86 / x86_64 / ARM) -...

launchpad.net

You could have added the ppa from a tty and then update your sources and installed a more recent Nvidia driver for your 4060.

It would be useful for others to share the solution you used to fix your issue.
