Ubuntu system corrupt after sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

After I run sudo apt-get install libudev-dev on my ubuntu machine, the screen turns black and I cannot reboot anymore.

If I try to reboot, I find myself in a command line interface. I don’t know how to get back to the normal Ubuntu GUI.

This is now the second time it happens. The first time I did a re-installation of ubuntu, and I hoped this was just an accident but nope..

Anyone who can help me "fix" my ubuntu without needing to re-install?

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS running from external SSD on Dell XPS 15 (9520)

Thanks,
Jelle

    We may encounter the same problem. Linux came into emergent mode after reboot. And home dir couldn’t be mount. The log shows that path of the udev-admn is not correct in some service file. We used /bin/udev-admn instead and then it worked.

    Maybe the answer is incomplete since we had unintstalled some graphic drivers before.

    I’ve repeatedly had the exact same issue on Ubuntu 22.10 both in VirtualBox and in a Live session while it used to work flawlessly a few weeks ago.

    I’ve checked the package’s changelog and noticed a recent security update from 251.4-ubuntu7 to 251.4-ubuntu7.1.

    A potential workaround is to install not the latest but the penultimate version of that package:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install libudev-dev=251.4-ubuntu7

    Hope that helps.
