Trying to run Ubuntu 22.04 on a computer that has an Nvidia graphics card and is using the built-in open source Nouveau graphics driver can cause Firefox to be unable to open, however you can still browse the web by installing Chromium web browser with sudo snap install chromium.

The AMD Phenom II CPU does not have integrated graphics, so it needs a separate graphics card which in turn requires a graphics driver if your graphics card is an NVIDIA model. If so, open the terminal and run the following commands to automatically install the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver packages which are suitable for your graphics card. These commands will also automatically switch your display server protocol from the default Wayland to X11/Xorg.

sudo apt update

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

sudo reboot

The autoinstall command of ubuntu-drivers installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies.
