390.157 driver no longer works with kernel 6.5+

Hi, I tried installing the nvidia-390 from ppa:dtl131/nvidiaexp, but can’t boot into gui after that. All I see is a non-blinking underline cursor.

If I press ctrl+alt+F2, I’m able to login to TTY. Then, I can launch the gnome shell with gnome-shell --wayland, the shell starts, but with all settings reset to default (background, color profile, fonts, icons etc). Still can’t find a way to make it start as it should, automatically.

What could be the culprit? I tried renaming ~/.config/dconf as someone suggested somewhere, to no avail.

I’m on Ubuntu 22.04. Wayland worked flawlessly with the old 390 driver for me before kernel 6.5 broke it.
