Ubuntu 20.04. Due to a spotty Internet connection I've been fighting for two months (thanks Comcast), I got a bad DL of the latest Kernel via standard Ubuntu updater. When attempting to boot it goes through the disk check with the spinning icon and then to a black screen with blinking cursor. No command line and the screen flickers about every 10 seconds like it's trying to restart the graphics. Won't start in 5.8.0-34's "safe mode" or "debug mode" or whatever the Grub menu option is either. It did post an error during the update about the Nvidia graphics driver and I did let the bug reporter do it's thing, but I'm just not advanced enough to know what happened.
I can boot into the previous 5.4.0-59-generic just fine. I think what I need to do is remove the newer kernel and then let it update again but am open to most anything that fixes it. Comcast ran a new temporary cable yesterday so the connection is now stable. I do have the option to fully R&R Ubuntu since my personal stuff is on a separate drive and am competent to do that. Can someone walk me through removing the affected kernel first?
Please help!!
