I had the same problem (the system got upgraded from 19.04 to 19.10,
nvidia-430 driver).
I noticed that nvidia drivers were loaded in the rescue mode - so they
were likely not blacklisted properly.
When I did not enter the rescue mode I had the following message displayed:
"A start job is running for udev Wait for Complete Device Initialization (1min
3s/ 3min)
/var/lib/gdm3/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log contained the following (see
the full file attached):
[ 47.771] (==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
[ 47.771] (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input
devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable
AutoAddDevices.

I removed the nvidia driver and got the system to the working state again and
then installed it from scratch.
Then I set up a trace point in prime-select here:
https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-prime/blob/cf757cc9585dfc032930379fc81effb3a3d59606/prime-select#L126-L138
Tracing showed that /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf and
/lib/udev/rules.d/80-pm-nvidia.rules were created correctly this time:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Dp5jgFQty/
cat /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
# Do not modify
# This file was generated by nvidia-prime
blacklist nvidia
blacklist nvidia-drm
blacklist nvidia-modeset
alias nvidia off
alias nvidia-drm off
alias nvidia-modeset off
I could then successfully reboot without hacking.
