After installing it, my system wouldn't boot to xwindows. Failsafe boot to gui wouldn't work either The error messages looked similar to this bug report for nvidia drivers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1752053 Here's what my xorg.[0,failsafe].log showed: [ 43.645] (++) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.failsafe.log", Time: Mon Jul 13 18:41:16 2020 [ 43.645] (++) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" [ 43.645] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" [ 43.645] Parse error on line 7 of section OutputClass in file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf "OutputClass" is not a valid section name.

Section "OutputClass" Identifier "nvidia" MatchDriver "nvidia-drm" Driver "nvidia" EndSection basically, in the progress of filing this bug report, I downgraded to nvidia-418 and my system was about to boot again.
