Today I got lot of unusual looking updates to Ubuntu22 (with NVIDIA GT 630), similar as describe in other fresh question. After 4th round (typically 1-2 x to install and remove unused) of message to install updates/remove old, I cancelled it and rebooted. However, then boot failed somehow, and I was left with back screen after normal Ubuntu had listed some items loaded/started. Further, the starting logo was in low res during the load. I only managed to get to safe without driver for display or sound.

General error in distributed updates?

Should I wait for new updated and assume the situation is corrected, or what is the process to correct this?

Some details:

Exactly the same situation here. The solution that worked for me: Explanation: there are no kernel modules installed. Please try installing the kernel headers

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

and then post the output of

dkms status

Reboot and good. Thanks to all who took the time to search and share.

I too ran into problems with the new 6.1.0-1015-oem kernel. I finally got it to work with the latest NVidia drivers (535.54.03) by following Tooster's advice in this post.
Basically, enter:

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

while running the latest drivers from NVidia and using the new linux kernel. Reboot and profit.

My system initially : GeForce GT 730 with 'nvidia-driver-470 - distro non-free recommended'.

Since the last Ubuntu upgrade I had an issue with booting. Hanging on 'Plymouth bootscreen'. Purging the NVIDIA-drivers - as suggested elsewhere - solved that, but had some side effects.

As for a possible broken update : linux-firmware:all 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.14 was published minutes ago. So I installed that. Just prior to that I had installed the kernel headers as mentioned here earlier.

No issues now with booting. My suspicions are on a broken Linux-update.

I saw the same error with updates you described and ended with a dysfunctional Nvidia driver, but with new kernel 6.1.0. Purging Nvidia, reinstalling, different versions: didn't work, then I applied this command:

sudo dkms autoinstall

And reboot. Maybe it helps for your problem too. After this, I installed the Nvidia driver again (which I previously uninstalled), rebooted again, working great. Ubuntu 22.04.2, Kernel 6.1.0-1015-oem, Nvidia driver 535.
