This is a performance regression. Unfortunately, if I do not set "nomodeset" in GRUB, then the plymouth splash screen and entire boot process is a blank screen, which makes it difficult to enter my LUKS encryption key. (in other words, removing "nomodeset" from GRUB is not an option) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 Package: nvidia-driver-418 418.56-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-13.14-generic 5.0.6 Uname: Linux 5.0.0-13-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Apr 20 08:07:55 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-04-20 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190210) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to disco on 2019-04-20 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1825663/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
