Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I have a GM204 [GeForce GTX 980] graphics card. I checked with "ubuntu- drivers devices" and the recommended driver was nvidia-driver-535, which is the one the default Ubuntu installation had already installed.
I thought ok, let's try another version. I installed 470. After this I could boot to desktop! All seemed to work well. Then I tried 525. Hurray, booting to desktop with this version as well! Then I thought... let's try 535 again. And... here I am typing this comment from Linux 6.5.0-10-lowlatency and nvidia-driver-535 without problems. But this is the package installed in the first place, right? I don't know enough to understand why nouveau was selected instead of this installed driver, but maybe there is something in the installation process that can be improved? Anyway, my problem is solved. Thank you very much for your indications. -- 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.
