Tested with 0.130ubuntu3.1 and 0.130ubuntu3.2, both have the same bug. 0.130ubuntu3 works fine.

Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04

Reproed with nvidia-396 396.24.02-0ubuntu and the 390 package as well.

System is using a nvidia 1050TI mobile. With prime-select to nvidia.

My setup includes an encrypted home dir, and encrypted ram disk. Boot drive is an Nvme ssd.

When installing the older working package I see this message:

I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/dm-0
I: (UUID=34e1ed83-dac8-400f-9a01-e21b9bb03dad)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

I don't that that message from the broken packages.

With the broken packages, once I login from gdm3, the computer freezes. I haven't been able to find a related error in the logs.

Workarounds with the nvidia driver have included switching the prime-select to intel, swapping to the nouveau drivers, or booting with nvidia-drm.modeset=1 (which causes other issues in gnome, but does login to the desktop)

Downgrading to initramfs-tools 0.130ubuntu3 solves the problem without needing to make and nvidia driver changes.
