Logon Screen Turns Black after Fresh Install of 22.04

[Rick St. George]

Running with new 1TB SSD and 32 GB Ram and 8 core AMD CPU.

After fresh install of v22.04 on new 1TB SSD, system worked beautifully for 1 day. 2nd day boot up, see Logon Screen for 1 second before both screens turn BLACK and can't do anything.
Tried typing password anyway, nothing!

Don't see any posts on this issue. Anyone have a clue?

Finally got it up by holding the SHIFT key and was able to input my password.
At end of day, since I suspected the GPU driver, I checked (after finding where they moved Software Sources) and sure enough -
the fresh installed OS is using X-Org instead of Nvidia driver 390. Tried to select Nvidia's driver and this Error Pop-up showed;

"pk-client-error-quark: Error while installing package: installed nvidia-dkms-390 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 (313)"

Any suggestions???
Thanks!

Nvidia 390 is no longer supported by NVidia, but is still being patched by the Ubuntu Graphics Team. My Lenovo Thinkpad T520 uses this driver...

Try this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nvidia-graphics-drivers-390

For some odd reason, after repeating it a 2nd time ... it worked and installed the Nvidia 390 driver.
My system ReBooted 3 times now OK with freshly installed UbuntuStudio v22.04 . Looks and Runs Great!

Where can I find "Ubuntu Pro" ? It is not showing up in Settings / System Settings /Driver Manager / Software Sources.
