Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with a 460.80 Nvidia Driver

Just did an upgrade from 5.8.0-59-generic to 5.8.0-63-generic kernel last night and this morning my monitor connected to the VGA port on the card failed to work

Temporary solution

Entering the Grub Boot Menu when using Secure / UEFI Boot

As my computer is running Secure Boot and UEFI I pressed the escape key just before I see the “Ubuntu” logo during boot to get into the grub menu

Boot to the last known good kernel

From the grub menu I select advanced options and then choose the previous kernel

Make Ubuntu Boot the Last Booted Kernel

Then if you want to stay at that kernel while you wait for a newer non problematic kernel / video driver package. Set the default boot kernel to the last one you used with the following:
