I am using Ubuntu 20.04 freshly installed and then installed graphics driver for RTX3050 GPU using the “Software & Updates” interface and go through “Additional Drivers”. But
After installation and rebooting, the boot screen stuck with a black screen message:

/dev/nvme0n1p2: recovering journal
/dev/nvme0n1p2: clean , 14677/6102208 files, 9669612/244059136 blocks

I have also tried apt-get method and runfile method but still the same issue persists. The only way I can get the system up is adding nomodeset after the “quiet splash” on the grub. But I heard adding nomodeset will run the GPU is reduced performance mode. When I install nvidia driver 470, it runs perfectly without “nomodeset”. But tried with nvidia driver 525, 535 etc but all them causing the same stuck issue. Same problem happens on my RTX3090Ti as well.

I am quite frustrated with this issue. What could be the problem and what is the solution here?

After installing the new drivers,
did you run sudo update-initramfs -u?

Black screen is usually an indicator that the window manager did not start up correctly. Can you get to the console with CTRL+ALT+F1 for example?

It would also help if you could attach a debug log which you get by running

sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh

With no way found, I have upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and the problem is not occurring.
