Bluetooth not working at all, internet not working at all, and even the setting for HDMI audio output is gone. The settings page is just empty.

I managed to load an older kernel(?) and got Bluetooth and internet working again, but still no audio. I’m as much of a novice at running Linux as you can get. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this with the help of an LLM, but I have no idea what I’m doing here.

Any help, please?

    If you want to make GRUB remember the last boot entry you picked, you can edit /etc/default/grub and set the following
    (make note of the original values or comment out the existing entry by adding # to the start of the line first)

    GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
    GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
    

    then run sudo update-grub to apply the changes. When you next boot and select a kernel, GRUB will remember that choice and just use it.

    Maybe you could try reinstalling the newest kernel? sudo tac /var/log/apt/history.log | less should give you a list of the last updates that were installed. Idk what Ubuntu calls their kernels, but they’d be packages named like “linux-image-generic” or something like that. If that doesn’t work, then maybe they messed something up on that kernel update and you’ve gotta wait for a fix.

    Whenever it does get fixed, you may want to undo the changes to /etc/default/grub

      I did GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2" instead so it now loads the previous version instead - I think. I can only hope it’s fixed for the next update then, but for now everything seems to work fine.
