today I booted my Ubuntu 22.04 as usual and Software Updates Tool asked me to install/update very old kernels. Also, it installed the 6.1.0-oem.

Why?

Edit for GUIVERC

Into APT logs (/var/log/apt/*-gz) I see that the only installations are the official 5.19.0-46.generic (Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome).

The Software Update Manager currenlty show me the package into the above screenshot.

The following is my /boot folder content:

I suspect an issue for the Software Manager Tool because by the apt cli the following are the only proposed upgrades:

I removed the 6.1 kernel with the following command, which got things back to normal, more or less, i.e. a 5.19 kernel.

sudo apt remove linux-image-6.1.0-1015-oem linux-image-unsigned-6.1.0-1015-oem

For some reason I needed both package names otherwise apt indicated it was going to install linux-image-unsigned-6.1.0-1015-oem if I removed just linux-image-6.1.0-1015-oem.

I still have a problem where the additional drivers UI now says that I'm running a manually installed driver for my NVidia 1060.

Problems started for me too with the weird kernel installs, but I stopped that and after reboot, the software upgrader tool popped up which I confirmed. This would be the first step to fix it:

sudo apt dist-upgrade

After that, I had the new kernel 6.1.0-1015-oem, before it was a 5.15.x "generic" kernel. But kernel dependend software like Nvidia driver and Virtualbox did not work anymore.

sudo dkms autoinstall

and rebooting fixed that. (Maybe the Nvidia driver has to be reinstalled once. I did reinstall because I removed & purged it when it was not working.)
