[Bug 2080522] [NEW] UEFI secureboot nvidia installation fails to install appropriate driver

[Tim Andersson]

Public bug reported:

Running through this testcase:
https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/461/builds/312970/testcases/1771/results

Unfortunately, it failed.

With an offline installation, after reboot, the graphics resolution was
way off, very zoomed in initially.

nvidia-smi outputs:
```
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
```

Interestingly enough, after another reboot, the resolution was
appropriate.

An nvidia driver *is* installed: nvidia-driver-550

However, perhaps it's not the appropriate driver for the graphics card.

Logs and other info will be attached in a comment.
