[Bug 1922079] [NEW] security updates for kernel 5.8.0 and Nvidia causing issues where HP monitors, wifi and bluetooth adapter hardware are no longer recognised.

[Wayne Bellward]

Public bug reported:

These updates are presented to me daily and I have tried to install them
several times and had to rollback. I have tried installing just the
NVidia drivers and this seems to result in my Wifi and Bluetooth
adapters not being recognised. I have also tried to install just the
kernel 5.8.0 updates without the NVidia drivers and this results in the
dual HP monitors not being recognised but the laptop inbuilt screen
works (it does recognise the HP G2 Thunderbolt dock as the external
keyboard through it works). Installing all the updates results in the
loss of the external monitors, wifi and bluetooth.
