Bug Description
I often have to forcibly power down my PC because of this bug: https:/
This Ask Ubuntu answer (https:/
- The display settings page in the Gnome settings app still showed my display as "unknown display" and did not have any options for changing the resolution.
- A WebGL-based application I use for work was very slow compared to normal.
I reverted the change to my Grub config and now I'm back to 1024x768.
I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 connected to a 1920x1080 monitor via HDMI. Let me know of any other information I can provide that would be helpful. Also let me know if there is a workaround other than reinstalling the OS.
Edit: I have a Windows dual boot on this PC, with Windows installed on a separate SSD. I booted into Windows and everything seems completely fine. This provides further evidence that this is a software issue, not a hardware one.

Thanks for the bug report. It appears your Nvidia kernel driver is not loading anymore so low resolution is expected. This may have been caused by a recent kernel update. Please try this:
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia- driver- 510/jammy dkms-510/ jammy
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-
and then reboot.
