Hello there
I’m trying to update my nvidia-driver on ubuntu 20.04 to version 510 or 535 (currently 470) but i’m having the following errors regarding my kernel version. I’ve tried many different options to install the drivers but nothing seems to work. The full error i’m having when trying to install 510 driver via apt is this:
