Following your suggestion, I switched to nouveau using the Ubuntu GUI.
To my dismay, I was then not able to boot graphically in -96 but also
not in -92 and various earlier kernels. Same error message : the gpu-
manager.service failed.
I installed the nouveau-firmware package and was then able to boot
correctly in all of these kernel versions.
But still not using the nvidia driver in -96.
So apart from the nouveau-firmware not being installed by the Ubuntu
drivers GUI glitch, no, this bug does not happen with nouveau.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
