Title:
  Nvidia-340 fails to build during Focal install due to upgrade to 5.8
  kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is really the result of the 20.04.1 iso images being built with
  'linux-generic-hwe-20.04' which shouldn't have been included until
  20.04.2 is released next month. For more detailed info about that
  please see bug #1911614.

  This was a fresh install of Ubuntu using the 20.04.1 media. During
  install I chose to download updates as well as installing 3rd party
  drivers. Towards the very end of the install I was warned that
  nvidia-340 installation couldn't complete successfully followed by a
  message that other issues regarding updates or removal of unneeded
  packages may be encountered.

  Below is a detailed list of the various boot processes but the logs
  may also show several aborted boot processes where I hit Ctl+Alt+Del
  after failing to get the grub menu to appear during boot.

  Initial boot resulted in a black screen with an occasionally blinking
  cursor. I mean I'd see the cursor blink maybe every 20 to 30 seconds.
  And I couldn't bring up a TTY - at least not that I could see.

  Second boot I added the nomodeset boot parameter to the 5.8 series
  kernel. Still just a black screen but I was able to pull up a TTY and
  sudo reboot.

  Third boot I added nomodeset to the 5.4 series kernel and this time I
  got stuck in a log-in loop. I had selected auto-login during
  installation.

  Fourth boot I went for the 5.4 series kernel recovery mode, then
  enabled networking, and stumbled around in the terminal trying to
  figure out what nvidia packages were installed. After I figured out
  what was installed I purged nvidia-340 followed by apt autoremove and
  reboot.

  Success! The 5.8 series kernel booted with no intervention :^)

  So specific to this bug it's just that the nvidia driver failed to
  install properly but the real root of the problem is that Focal should
  not be getting 5.8 series kernel updates (reference bug #1911614).

  I also noticed on my daily driver that all of the 5.8 series kernel
  updates have shown up as "other updates", or at least none of them
  have shown up as security updates so I'm considering this a potential
  security problem and I'll let those who know what they're doing weigh
  in on that.
