Recently, (somehow) my boot loader broke and I had to reinstall Ubuntu. I still had troubles with Grub and finally have got it healthy and working again.
As I was setting up some software and changed my graphics driver over from xorg to nvidia-driver-460. After restarting the computer would not boot and just had a blank screen after grub. After reverting and tweaking what I could I tried it again and this time I have the Ubuntu logo show up (though it was at a lower resolution than when booting with xorg) and it spins for a while and it seems to freeze here.
I've now reverted back to xorg (through the recovery shell) and everything is fine. But I'd really like to get these nvidia drivers since I want to play a few games.
I didn't have any warnings show up so I don't have more information. If there is info I can get then I would be happy to add it.
The odd thing is that before my boot broke I had 20.04 and nvidia 460 running no problem. Does any one have ideas? Perhaps a new update to ubuntu or some broken config?
Edit:
Switching to the top one, 460, means ubuntu won't boot. Xorg here works fine (evident by me taking a screenshot with it).

I have installed nvidia-driver-450-server and this has allowed me to use my GPU for the time being. It appears the current versions of 460 have a bug where they will not work with display port connections (which is what I am using).
We will have to wait until a new version is available to upgrade.
