You need to remove the 5.4 HWE kernel (backported from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and install GA 4.15 back with which Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was shipped.
Use commands below:
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge 'linux-image-5.4.0-*-generic' 'linux-image-unsigned-5.4.0-*-generic' 'linux-modules-5.4.0-*-generic' 'linux-hwe-5.4-headers-5.4.0-*' linux-generic-hwe-18.04 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-18.04
# allow removal of running 5.4 kernel in the ncurses blue prompt - answer 'No'
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic
If you also need to disable HWE for Xorg/X11, then use below command:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge 'xserver-xorg*hwe*18.04'
If you have Nvidia card then run
ubuntu-drivers install
before reboot.
