I just upgraded to Ubuntu 20.10 without realizing this problem with the nvidia-340.108 . The upgrade failed to install this driver with the 5.8 kernel that comes with the upgrade. Fortunately, I still have the 5.4 kernel that is compatible. I have a Dell Inspiron 1400 with legacy GPU GeForce 8400M GS. I wondered whether there is or will be a fix for the nvidia driver to make it compatible with the 5.8 kernel in Ubuntu 20.10. Thank you for your help.
