Public bug reported: System booted OK with Nouveau driver. I used Driver Manager to apply change of "Using NVIDIA driver metapackage from nvidia- driver-390(proprietary,tested)". After the NVIDIA proprietary driver installation, system failed to boot. All i get was a blank screen, with a blinking cursor.
