After installing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a laptop with an NVIDIA GPU, the user is presented with only a blinking cursor on the laptop's display when first booting into the newly installed OS.
The problem described above could occur when the Nvidia proprietary driver included with the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installer is not the latest available driver.
- Therefore, the latest driver needs to be installed via CLI.
Used on the Dell G15 (5511) laptop to install the latest Ubuntu drivers for Nvidia's GA106M (RTX 3060 Laptop) and GA107M (RTX 3050/3050 Ti Laptop) GPUs.
