UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same error since the kernel upgrade from 5.15.0-105 to 5.15.0-107 (Ubuntu 22.04)

In my case it affects Nvidia 510, 525 and 535. Workarounds are either upgrading to 550 (not possible in my case) or keep using the old 5.15.0-105 kernel.
