Bug Description

OS : Ubuntu 20.04(20200401)

Problem: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot up

solution:
          If we edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and COMPRESS=lz4, to COMPRESS=gzip
then the error is fixing .

Expected solution:
                This but in there from a long time I have seen this from Ubuntu 18.04,19.04,19.10
now in 20.04 So please fix it or change it from lz4 to gzip.
an early reply is highly appreciated
Thank you .
