Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce this bug...
1) Install the current nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu2 package. 2) Reboot to confirm nvidia graphics drivers are functional. 3) Reboot and edit the default kernel options to have 'single' before 'quiet splash' 4) Boot the edited kernel options The single user mode is broken under 20.04 with the nvidia 340 drivers. A black screen appears with no single user prompts. If you remove the nvidia-340 package and reboot, single user mode works as expected under the nouveau drivers. I have confirmed with current Ubuntu 18.04 that this bug with the nvidia-340 drivers doesn't exist and single user mode works properly. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873937 Title: nvidia-340 prevents booting into single user mode under Ubuntu 20.04 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce this bug... 1) Install the current nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu2 package. 2) Reboot to confirm nvidia graphics drivers are functional. 3) Reboot and edit the default kernel options to have 'single' before 'quiet splash' 4) Boot the edited kernel options The single user mode is broken under 20.04 with the nvidia 340 drivers.
