2020-06-10 11:50:44 Elroy Liddington description Ubuntu-drivers allows installation of (nvidia-340) drivers, which are broken/break things. Allowing ( :-P ) ubuntu-drivers to install nvidia-340 results in no GUI on reboot, only console available. X does appear to be running, but only a black screen.
