Public bug reported:

System: Disco (19.04 beta)
Hardware: Dell Precision 7530

After installing the system, it cannot start unless manually adding
`nomodeset` in the kernel command line at boot time.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install disco 19.04 beta on the device. Leave all the options at default 
values (i.e. do not install third party drivers)
2. Once installation is finished, restart the system (the system will freeze 
after install is finished, it's a known issue -> lp:1822044)

Expected result:

2. The system boots and user can log in and see Gnome interface.

Actual result:

2. The first time, I could log into the system. However, when I tried to
access the Settings screen, the system froze. After that, everytime I
tried to boot the device, the screen was filled with dark purple, a
mouse cursor may appear, but nothing else would happen. At that stage,
the only thing I could do was to force shutdown the device, start it
again and at Grub screen, press `e` to edit the kernel parameters and
add `nomodeset`.

This bug is created from the actual device, using `nomodeset` kernel
parameter. `nouveau` graphics driver is most likely the culprit, like in
all the previous issues that have been raised (see lp:1822026,
lp:1822044, lp:1821882)

Two workarounds exist:

1. After installation, use `nomodeset` kernel parameter to boot into the 
system, then install proprietary nvidia drivers.
2. During installation, install third party drivers. If Secure Boot is enabled, 
this requires to set a password that will be asked when the device reboots.
