Public bug reported:
Upon startup after a routine software update, my desktop was limited to
640×480 resolution, making the desktop UI unusable. Switching graphics
drivers didn't help.
Downgrading the kernel from linux-image-5.11.0-7612-generic to linux-
image-5.8.0-7642-generic via Grub after restart solved the problem, at
least temporarily.
After the "fix" (reversion to old kernel):
