Hi there,
I've been using Kubuntu about a month without too many issues (except with my nvidia graphics) and I justwoke up today to my computer having KERNEL PANIC when I boot it.
I can still get to the grub menu, but it can't open kubuntu in its normal state or in recovery modes without eventually seeing the Kernel Panic screen.
in recovery mode, there will be lots of commands running down the screen I can't interact with, it also cotinuously talks about USB devices even when none are plugged in.
I tried using the grub menu to boot into the original install flash drive I used for kubuntu, which brought me to the menu in that flash drive, but when I chose "try kubuntu" it just gave me a black screen that I could type in, but typing "help" and pressing enter just moved the cursor to a new line.
As for what could have caused this, my nvidia graphics card suddenly stopped running when I turned on Linux, so I went to the "Additional Drivers" section in kubuntu and installed new nvidia drivers that weren't open or server versions. Some errors popped up that I didn't write down, but it said it was installed afterward and didn't give me other buttons to press, so I kept using the computer as normal. I think that is the only thing that could have affected the kernel? I previously had manually installed nvidia drivers before using the "Additional Drivers" page yesterday.
Could I please get some urgent help and guidance so I can use my computer again, preferably without losing all of my files?
system info:
Im using a dell g15 laptop with an AMD processor and a geforce 3050 graphics card: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell...15-5535-laptop
I'm not sure which kubuntu version I'm running, but the advances boot options from the grub menu include Linux 6.14.0-27-generic, and grub is version 2.12
