Cannot get nvidia driver (520, 515, 515-open, or 510) working in Ubuntu 22.10

Graphics / Linux Linux
30

OKOKOKOKO I got it working.

Thank you so much for your help @generix.

Heres what I did, line by line.

 sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-generic
 sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-generic

Next,

        sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
        sudo apt remove --purge '^libnvidia-.*'
        sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | true
        sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia-primary.conf | true
        sudo rm /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf | true
        sudo rm /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf | true
        sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf | true
        sudo rm /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf | true
        sudo apt update -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt clean -y && sudo apt autoclean -y

Rebooted.

Installed nvidia-driver-520 from the additional drivers tab of ubuntu.

Rebooted
