Title:
  initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot
  up.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OS : Ubuntu 20.04(20200401)

  Problem: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message
  appears on boot up

  solution: 
            If we edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and COMPRESS=lz4, to COMPRESS=gzip 
  then the error is fixing .

  Expected solution:
                  This but in there from a long time I have seen this from Ubuntu 18.04,19.04,19.10
  now in 20.04 So please fix it or change it from lz4 to gzip.
  an early reply is highly appreciated 
  Thank you .
