I have a Dell Precision Tower 5860 running Ubuntu 22.04.3, and i wanted to update the driver. I chose the most recent NVIDIA driver listed under “Additional Drivers”, it was version 535, and it said it was proprietary and tested. I installed it and then restarted. However, after restarting, the monitor did not come back on. I tested it, and the monitor works just fine, I tried a couple different cables and none of them made any difference, I restarted and unplugged both the PC and monitor and nothing worked. I have tried all of the dumb, easy solutions, but nothing has worked. I believe my video drivers have been corrupted by the installation, but I have no idea how to fix this when I literally can’t use a monitor. I could ssh in from another computer, but I don’t know the IP address without looking it up in the system. Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now my only option is a factory reset, but I would like to avoid that.
