Black screen with cursor when prime-select nvidia - Ubuntu 20.04 - Dell precision 3581 with NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU (GA107GL-A)

Hi,

When I select the nvidia graphics card using prime-select nvidia; ubuntu 20.04 (clean install) boots into a black screen with a cursor. When I switch back to intel, gdm starts again.

Tested with ubuntu 22.04; no issues there. However, we required 20.04 for our software.

Error that I am getting (journalctl):

Any ideas? Thanks!

20.04 kernel does not support last generation intel chips apparently.
