New install desktop Ubuntu 19.04 shows error message: ucsi_ccg 0-0008: failed to reset PPM!

I have a brand new desktop computer on which I have installed ubuntu 19.04. When I boot the machine, I get the following error:

Jul 1 22:14:42 machinelearning kernel: [ 115.801914] ucsi_ccg 0-0008: failed to reset PPM!
Jul 1 22:14:42 machinelearning kernel: [ 115.803019] ucsi_ccg 0-0008: PPM init failed (-110)

I have managed to start SSH so I can login into the machine via ssh and do what I have to do. However, the GUI does not come up.

Note: I do not remember what I did to get into the GUI but whatever it was, I cannot repeat it and the GUI fails to launch.

I am checking the output of syslog and dmesg and cannot see anything obvious.

Here is my system information. product: Z390 M (Default string)

03/14/2019
Z390 M-CF Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
video card: GeForce GTX 1660 Off | 00000000:01:00.0 Off | N/A | | 34% 39C P0 N/A / N/A | 0MiB / 5943MiB | 0% Default | +-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

The problem appear to be the nvidia drivers. I have installed them based on the nvidia-smi program's suggestion. I am on driver 418 (I am using the proprietary drivers)

Anyone any ideas? Pranav P.S. I also have a system log with me which is the output of the journalctl command. I do not see a way to attach it to the question but am happy to share it.

I had the same entries in my log. also my computer had a 50 second hang after resuming from suspend during which desktop is black.
ucsi_ccg is a modprobe module for nvidia gpu type-c controller.
as described here this problem appeared in kernel 5.3.x+.
as workaround you can disable this module by creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-usb.conf with the blacklist ucsi_ccg string and rebooting your computer.

Note: Blacklisting of this module disables the usb-c connector on the video card.
