[Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected

[Tim Wetzel]

These bugs started with a Ubuntu update just prior to Sept 14 (see post
103 above). By the 14th, there were initramfs problems on startup and
the hang on spinning circle which forced hard power downs.

Then on Sept 24, more updates installed including updates to grub,
*nvidia drivers*, and some other things. Immediately following these
Sept 24 updates, the suspend after entering login password started. That
first machine affected subsequently became so unstable that I tried to
reload Ubuntu; but that failed due to this bug. So that machine is now
completely sidelined.

These 4 bugs are devastating my Ubuntu machines. PLEASE fix these
(again, this bug and the other 3 mentioned in post 103)!

And please NOTE that the updated nvidia driver packet DOES seem to be
one of the bad actors in all this?
