Comment 26 for bug 1911352

I have the same problem on my Acer.

Since Kernel 5.8.0-36 and also 5.8.0-38 Ubuntu 20.04.1 cannot start in graphics mode.
(It is possible to log in on the console using e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F4 though.)

With Kernel 5.4.0-58 the system works as expected.

The problem occurs only on this system, which is also the only one with a
Nvidia GPU (Nvidia drivers are currently not installed though because I initially suspected the
updated nvidia-driver-460 were the problem.)
