[Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails when "Install Third-Party Drivers" is selected

[Jon Brase]

I have encountered this issue trying a fresh install of Kubuntu 20.04.1.
The entire reason that I tried a fresh install is that trying to upgrade
my existing system from Ubuntu Mate 18.04 to 20.04 resulted in the
upgrade finishing with errors and leaving my system in an unusable state
(fortunately, I have a full backup, so rolling back a failed upgrade is
painless, other than the time consumed). I don't know if the root cause
of both issues is the same or not.

My graphics card is an NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti. /var/log/syslog from
the failed ground-up installation is attached (I attempted installing
twice in the live session with failures both times). I will attempt to
find time to retry the upgrade and attach the syslog from that so we can
see if the root cause is the same (I have already rolled the filesystem
back from backup for the previous attempts, so I don't have a syslog for
them).

The end result is that I have no upgrade path from 18.04 to 20.04.
