Daniel:

Thanks for your email.  Hours after I posted the bug message, my
computer would not boot to the Kubuntu 20.04 o/s.  I determined the
culprit was the Nvidia software.  I attempted to purge the Nvidia
drivers via the terminal, but no success. I was then forced to perform a
fresh install of Kubuntu. The fresh install succeeded, with the Nouveau
driver. I then installed the Nvidia 390 driver package, via the muon
package manager.  This succeeded, and I am happy to report the Nvidia
390 driver is properly installed and the nvidia-settings app runs properly.

I am very reluctant to again attempt the install of the 450 driver
package. The days for downtime and frustration to re-install are simply
too great.  Thanks for your attention and understanding.

regards,
RG.
