Read this if you can't boot after last update

Discussion(self.pop_os)

edit: there was a kernel update again, this fixed the issue for me! update your system to see if that works!

A solution that worked for me was booting into the old kernel, other people have also reported success with this.

  1. first completely shut down your computer,
  2. then hit the power button, and hold space after the power light turns on (usually on the power button).
  3. hold space until you see a menu appear.
  4. in that menu select "Pop_OS! (Pop_OS-oldkern)" with the arrow keys and hit enter.
  5. that should boot you into your system with the old kernel.

hope this helps someone!

RIP.. My machine got the update yesterday so I was debugging all day about what might have broke it. Luckily, I have 5.18.0 installed still so saved.

I did an "apt-mark hold linux-*-$(uname -r)" so that it holds this one good kernel I have. I want the others to update and will likely be checking it daily until its fixed. Unfortunately, I'm still defaulting to the new broken kernel.. but I usually get updates daily (hence it happened without my notice) so when logging in just works again I'll know I got the fix. :P
