I confirm that 6.1.66-1 (6.1.0-15) severely breaks my amd64/bookworm/gnome physical machine, which runs fine with 6.1.52-1 and 6.1.55-1.

What happens, at a first glance: 1. Bootup to the gdm greeter works, but there I get an unusal keyboard layout. And everything takes longer. 2. There seems to be no network connectivity. (no WiFi icon) 3. Launching Firefox apparently does nothing. 4. Launching gnome-teminal works, but many commands just stall, such as "sudo dmesg" or "ip a". 5. Shutting down takes ages, with systemd waiting for a bunch of services to terminate, most of which seem to be network-related. After much more that 10 min I used hard power-off. I'm uncertain whether such an unstable system is even capable of going through the reportbug script. Any ideas, which logfiles might be useful to debug this issue, and whom to address this to, IOT to prevent similar experiences from many more users? Also what kind of testing could I usefully perform? Any kernel parameters maybe? -- Kevin Price
