[Bug 1801103] [NEW] Kubuntu driver manager fails to install nvidia-prime on hybrid systems and that makes system unusable for unexperienced users

[Serhiy Zahoriya]

Public bug reported:

Ignoring the fact that only nvidia-340 drivers were suggested when 390
is available, with a completely fresh install after using Kubuntu driver
manager system does not show GUI on the next boot because NVIDIA drivers
cannot work without nvidia-prime on hybrid systems.

The driver manager simply installs the nvidia driver/meta package for
the compatible selected driver. If prime should be a dependency of that,
then is really an issue with that package.

** Package changed: kubuntu-driver-manager (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics-
drivers-340 (Ubuntu)
