Only "basic graphics mode" works - software or hardware issue?

My understanding of the live system is that it doesn’t have much space for added or updated packages, so trying to update everything would probably fail. There should be enough space to update the kernel. However, you would have to reboot the system to activate the new kernel and, unfortunately, the nature of live systems is that they reset to their initial state when they are rebooted. So I don’t think it would be possible to test your hardware with the new kernel using the live system; at least not without configuring some sort of persistent storage.

Also, kernel 6.7.6 is still in the testing repo[1], so you will have to use the special command that Chris provided in the below link to install it.
