[Bug 1765923] Re: Nvidia driver leads to black screen on bionic 18.04 SDDM LightDM bug?

[Hontas Farmer]

Yes it does have hybrid graphics.  I also use an external GPU.  This
occurs with or without the EGPU plugged in.

However, it may be that there was a problem in that specific version of
SDDM in that particular daily build.  Somehow, someway installing the
Ubuntu Gnome desktop system and gdm2 fixed it.  Then I did a full
upgrade a couple days ago and got a new version of sddm, switched to
that and that seems to have fixed it.

The real problem is that a new user when confronted with a utterly BLACK
screen won't know to Ctrl alt f6 into a terminal and do things from
there.  That sort of thing is a typical "why Linux will always be for
geeks" moment.
