I was trying to change nvidia drivers from the 560 package (beta) to 550 (release).

I did it through the Software Update app, restarted and after that the system wasn’t booting and a black screen with a blinking cursor appeared.

I used Ctrl Alt F3, decided to remove all nvidia driver packages I had (I read a stackoverflow post) and run the commands:

apt remove “^nvidia” apt autoremove

After that, I rebooted again to install new drivers, but I have no internet connection (no ethernet, no enp34s0 interface in ip addr)! Why is that happening and how can I get out of this situation?

I trying to boot an old kernel and apt install —reinstall “the main kernel image”. But it’s still broken…
