Hi icaria36, Your configuration boots to nouveau instead of the nvidia driver when you boot into -lowlatency. As seen in the below Xserver logs:

Later on, when all your services are shutting down, it tries to modprobe the nvidia driver, but its missing. Is it installed for the -lowlatency variant, or just -generic only? Maybe check to see if it was built correctly in dkms logs.

Make sure your nvidia driver is built for your lowlatency kernel and maybe try blacklisting nouveau. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-meta-lowlatency in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2043469 Title: Low-latency kernel can't boot to desktop Status in linux-meta-lowlatency package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 23.10 fresh install. Generic kernel boots without problems. lowlatency can't boot to desktop, it gets stuck and shows black screen with cursor blinking. The same PC worked yesterday with 23.04 and low latency without problems. I have been running lowlatency kernel in this machine for a couple of years, no problems.
