Public bug reported:
This happened on a near-fresh install of 18.04 on a new computer. I was
having trouble getting the NVIDIA proprietary drivers working. So I did
quite a bit of install/uninstall cycles, failing to get the NVIDIA
drivers working. I couldn't seem to get the NVIDIA drivers to work.
I just recently discovered the reason -- I had the UEFI secure boot
setup. So I disabled UEFI using the mokutil --disable-validation
command. This crash occured on a system reboot. I imagine I can fix my
setup from here. I'll update the thread, regardless of the outcome.
I think perhaps Ubuntu would benefit from a warning, during the
installation process that UEFI secure boot can cause problems such as
this. Also, when installing NVIDIA drivers with the "Software and
Updates" GUI, there should be some indication of the problems if the
UEFI secure boot is enabled. Perhaps users should be blocked from
attempting the install, and pointed towards mokutil.
