[Bug 1864781] Re: System with GeForce GT 520 failed to boot when nvidia-390 was installed

[C Chan]

to add, after step 4:

4a.  i waited a little longer and noticed a jagged dialogue window
popped up (attached).  i tried to input my password, but neither mouse
nor keyboard was functional.   i waited again, and later proceeded to
resume at step 5.
