Upgraded using sudo apt upgrade
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Release: 22.04

system fails to boot - blank screen - no activity

recovery mode coaxed system to startup but error happens with nvidia drivers

system has two monitors, one works (DVI) the second (VGA) does not.

suspect ancient video card (geforce 610) and issues with compatibility
