Public bug reported:
Upon installing the 3rd party nVidia version 390 drivers for the Dell
E6520 laptop, after reboot hangs with a black screen and a blinking
cursor in the upper left hand corner. Booting to a terminal prompt and
using "sudo apt remove *nvidia*" and rebooting solves the issue. This
did NOT happen in 22.04 LTS on this laptop with no other hardware or
BIOS changes. This install of 23.04 was a clean install, the 22.04
install was wiped.
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GF119M [NVS 4200M]
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
If I install that driver the system will not boot, removing it solves
the issue. I've wiped and reinstalled 23.04 4x, both with full options
and minimal, the problem always returns.
