Title:
  Ubiquity installs non-bootable hyrbrid system when nvidia graphics is
  available

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 21.10 using ubiquity on a Legion Slim 7 with an amd
  cpu/gpu using the amd gpu to drive the laptop screen but also an
  nvidia graphics card. The installer ran fine but the installed image
  failed to boot, just showing a blank screen. The installer had
  installed both the amdgpu and nvidia drivers but was trying to use
  only the nvidia driver, which failed to display the login screen on
  either the laptop screen driven through the amd gpu or on the external
  monitor driven through the nvidia card.

  The solution turned out to be to run "sudo prime-select intel" (or
  more appropriately, "sudo prime-select on-demand", so I could also use
  prime and reverse prime), which fixed the problem. (Running prime-
  select intel was a bit counter-intuitive because the cpu is not intel
  so it me took a long time to figure out the problem.)

  When hybrid graphics are in use and ubiquity installs the nvidia
  driver, shouldn't it default to prime-select on-demand instead of
  prime-select nvidia?
