Public bug reported: I have a working backup with no nvidia drivers. Adding nvidia proprietary driver (nvidia-driver-535) and rebooting causes a generic "contact a system administrator" screen when one would expect the greeter. The ubuntu-desktop and nvidia driver metapackages were installed with --no-install-recommends. A bug report has been filed with gnome-shell, and someone there asked me to file it here as well.
