I also experienced a crash while performing a routine update and was thrown out of the desktop. I saw an error relating to canonical- livepatch which is installed but not enabled.
I switched to vt4 and rebooted with the command "sudo reboot now". In my case everything appears to be working normally including the ability to report bugs. My /var/crash/ directory shows that files relating to gnome-shell, seahorse and cups-browsed were automatically uploaded at the time I experienced the crash. The times match entries found in /var/log/apt/history.log so the crash *was* related to the update process. I'm not sure if this helps anyone trace the source of the problem but I thought I should respond as this is the first instance I have seen of such a crash since I began using Ubuntu in 2010. Alexandru, I'm confirming the bug on the basis that *we* saw a similar crash while updating but not for the problems that you experienced afterwards. ** Changed in: xwayland (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xwayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1961910 Title: Ubuntu 22 crash when updating, broken network manager and cannot report bug Status in xwayland package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A new day, a new struggle with Ubuntu 22.04. So, I decided to get my daily updates and in the middle of the process the system just crashed, leaving me at the login page. When I got back, the wifi was no longer there and the network configuration was reporting an error about the network manager having problems. I shut down and restarted, the wifi came back. Went to the var/crash folder to report the bug with $:/var/crash$ ubuntu-bug _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash and it started complaining about older packages that need to be upgraded. I run `apt upgrade`, one of the packages is `dbus`, I tried `apt install dbus` and another even uglier crash that left me with a black screen from which I could only come back with a forced shutdown and restart. Now, how do I get out of this mess and report the bug?
