Yesterday I did a clean install of 23.04 on my root partition. (There's also one home partition, but no Windows.)

Edit: I installed Nvidia drivers at installation.

Everytime I start up, I see a list of entries like so: https://i.sstatic.net/HAGY7.jpg

I have no clue if they point to something substantial; to me, the dependency failures regarding sssh come to mind, or maybe something is up with grub?

Anyways, after a short while, the screen turns black with a flashing cursor, and I'm stuck forever.

The symptoms strongly resemble those of this post, but the only solution suggested there deals with Windows dual boot issues.

Also possibly related is this post, but I can't try the solution there because on my machine there appears to be only the 6.2.0 kernel, yet no older one.

It turns out that on my ThinkPad T430, the Nvidia 390 drivers are the culprit.

Booting into recovery mode, opening a root terminal and performing apt remove --purge nvidia* solved the boot issue for the time being.

The bug involving the 390 driver package is tracked here.
