Upgrading to 1.187.20 results in missing firmware, Nvidia 1650 MaxQ

[Esme Xuan Lim]

On a fresh install of Kubuntu 20.04, I ran sudo apt upgrade, which results in the the following warnings:

Booting to the last installed kernel, 5.11.0-27-generic will allow me to boot into the desktop - however if I were to use a Nvidia driver (460 and 470, non-server), I will have issues getting the computer to sleep, and on one boot I the shutdown greeter kept crashing
