It appears the main error here is:
(EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to acquire modesetting permission.
which may related to bug 1795637, but probably not. It sounds like a
similar problem but in this case the bug would be in gdm3 instead of
plymouth.
As a workaround you might want to try disabling KMS and let the Nvidia
driver operate natively. To do this,
1. Edit /etc/default/grub and add "nomodeset":
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
2. sudo update-grub
3. Reboot
That does roughly the same thing as the recovery mode workaround.
