[ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with Asus FX505 Tuf Gaming laptop after installing 20.04

[David King]

Despite the Kubuntu installer saying it failed, I was able to boot into 
Kubuntu.

It is using the nouveau driver and so far seems to work without freezing 
for at least 1 hour.

However, currently I have no sound.
