Bug Description
I've read it might be an issue related to NVidia running on noveaux drivers.
Actually this is my configuration (NVidia G92 [GeForce 9600 GSO]) with noveaux because if I install proprietary NVidia drivers, I cannot boot (system freezes on purple screen at boot before asking for login) even with all the proper configurations(
1) Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
2) apt-cache policy gnome-shell
