Public bug reported:
Clean install of Kubuntu 20.04, with the "install proprietary drivers"
option checked. System didn't go past boot screen. Further checks
suggested that there is no working graphics driver compatible with
SDDM/KDE (XDM would start using VESA).

The modalias appears in apt show nvidia-driver-440. This is incorrect,
this GPU is not supported by the 440 driver. I manually switched to 390
(which is listed as supported by Nvidia) and that works. This is also
seen in the support list (/usr/share/doc/nvidia-
driver-440/README.txt.gz).
