I have a MSI MS-1653 laptop which was running Ubuntu 20.04. I tried to install NVidia CUDA with sudo apt install cuda. For some reason the install built a new kernel, and now when I boot into that kernel I have no networking.

I need to roll back to a previous kernel, but I can't get the boot menu that will allow me to go to Advanced options and boot a previous kernel as shown here.

When I try to remove the latest kernel with sudo apt remove linux-image-5.15.0-1032-oracle it fails because it can't connect to the internet.

MSI and Nvidia have left me with an unusable laptop. Is there a way out of this predicament?

I recall that during the failed install there were messages that showed that there weren't enough inotify max_user_watches. Maybe this explains why I ended up with a crippled kernel.

I ended up having to install Ubuntu 22.04 to get my laptop back.

While installing Cuda on the new OS I did notice that it does a kernel build, so that is part of a normal Cuda install. The NVidia driver and Cuda are working correctly now.
