Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has the code name Jammy Jellyfish and has support until April 2027. I am making a few assumptions: 1) The machine loads to a black screen and does not load to a login screen and then on to a desktop environment. In other words - no GUI. 2) The machine has an UEFI motherboard and not a BIOS boot motherboard. 3) Ubuntu is the only operating system on this machine and so the Grub boot menu does not show. Therefore, as the machine boots and you see the supplier's splash screen press the ESC key perhaps several times. This should/may cause the Grub boot menu to appear. If that happens then select Advanced Options for Ubuntu. That will show a small list of Linux kernels. Select one that has Recovery Mode as part of its description. This option will load that Linux kernel and present the Friendly Recovery menu. Select Resume. That will resume the loading of Ubuntu using an open source video driver and not the Nvidia proprietary video driver. Does that get you to a working desktop environment? If it does, open Software and Updates>Other Drivers tab and disable the proprietary video driver. You need to be connected to the internet to do this. Now, you have a working operating system. We hope. Sorting out a proprietary video driver will be much easier with a working desktop environment. And different questions will need to be asked. Regards
It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things. Ubuntu user #33,200. Linux user #530,530
Thanks, no my graphics are Radeon R2, and when I enter #list drivers available the response is "command not found". Once again sorry to be so ignorant, I have been using Linux, mostly Ubuntu, for over 20 years, originally in computers I built myself but have always relied on the OS to work or prompt me to resolve issues, I am not a software hobbyist (probably reduntant info).
Oh, Radion R2 = AMD. My mistake. Actually the advice I gave still applies. Let us find out if the problem is with the proprietary video driver. P.S. I have found from experience that when doing an online upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu it is best to take the operating system back to the default state as far as possible. And that includes de-activating a proprietary video driver. It avoids the possibility of the proprietary video driver not being compatible with the newer Linux kernels that are part of the upgrade. AMD Radion drivers for UBuntu. https://community.amd.com/t5/blender...nel/m-p/689763 Regards

@GRAHAMmechanical, Thanks, I thought we had cracked it when I was able to follow your instructions through to the "resume"stage, sadly that brought me right back to where I started from. As it is late in London now I will keep trying for a breakthrough (I'm in Sydney Aus) and will try to provide more details later in the day.
@grahammechanical, thanks again, I went to the page re missing radeon drivers and followed the technique that millertime suggested and 1 other had success with but got E; unable to locate package rocem-opencl-sdk E; unable to locate package rocm-core Restarting bought me back to where I began, I tried once more the resume method, nothing changed, I'm feeling computercidal.
