I just upgraded to 18.04, and I am experiencing this very annoying problem.

If I disable through PRIME the Nvidia card, when I reboot a get to a black screen that flashes the boot operations, that is too fast to be read.

I have to login in a tty and re-set the Nvidia card as PRIME card in order to login. Please note that the system does not stay stabily in the chosen tty, it randomly goes back to tty1 where the boot operations are randomly flashing.
