With reference to post #132 above: If this is relevant to this issue....
I also am experiencing problems with switching drivers for the device on
my systems that uses (or can use) a Ubuntu third party driver.
Specifically nVidia for the GeForce 940MX. Changing between nVidia
driver versions (all within the selections provided by Ubuntu's Updater)
appears to succeed but driver performance is not correct. I restart
after each driver change. I've seen screen tearing, freezing, video
stuttering, etc while playing locally stored videos. I've used the same
video file to test and the results remain unpredictable. Even going back
to the generic xorg driver does not seem to fully stabilize performance
of the 940MX. None of these issues were present prior to the mid-
September Ubuntu updates associated with 20.04.1; and the nVidia
driver(s) provided performance superior to the xorg version. Trying to
reload Ubuntu in an attempt to squash these bugs triggered this crash
bug. I obviously managed to work around it by NOT selecting third party
drivers on install, but that necessitates changing the driver after
install; and that has not worked well either.

If this is not relevant to this particular bug, then please disregard in
deference to other bug reports. I provide this here only to assist by
providing anecdotal observations in hopes that this may help in trying
to resolve this third party driver related issue. And in the event that
several of these bugs may be inter-related, please refer to also posts
#84, 97, and 104 above regarding a group of bugs that all appeared
following the mid-September Ubuntu LTS 20.04 updates; and note that
there is a bug number (not listed above here) for the suspend on login
issue, it is 1897185. Again: if this is not relevant to resolving this
issue then disregard here.

Thank you.

  Installation fails due to useless immediate configuration error when
  "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Installations that really succeeded would then fail because APT could not 
immediately configure a package. Which is a pointless way to fail at that 
point, because everything did work out anyway.

  So what we do is change that to a warning.

  [Test case]
  Not available right now. Issues can flare up and then disappear again.

  [Regression potential]
  It's imaginable that we missed something somewhere and some path that checked 
for a set error doesn't check it anymore, and we report success when we hit an 
error, but it seems unlikely.

  Behavior of --simulate changes. This used to fail before as well, and
  will now only produce a warning. We don't believe that is a reason of
  concern.

  [Groovy SRU]
  The groovy SRU is a sync of the 2.1.11 micro release from Debian unstable 
which also incorporates changes to the documentation: A typo fix, replacing 
focal with groovy in examples, and minor Dutch manual pages translation updates.

  We do not have test cases for the documentation changes, and we do not
  consider there to be a huge regression potential. As long as they
  build, they should be readable - maybe some words are wrong in the
  translation, who knows.

  [Original bug report]
  Test Case
  1. Install Ubuntu Desktop on hardware with an nVidia card and select to 
install 3rd party drivers
  2. Proceed with installation
