Hi @generix,
I am facing a similar problem to this thread and would appreciate if you can help me solve it. I want to install the nvidia driver but I receive this error
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.5.0-17-generic
Errors were encountered while processing:
nvidia-dkms-515
nvidia-driver-515
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
if I run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
I get this issue:
Setting up nvidia-dkms-515 (515.105.01-0ubuntu1) …
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
A modprobe blacklist file has been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau
from loading. This can be reverted by deleting the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
A new initrd image has also been created. To revert, please regenerate your
initrd by running the following command after deleting the modprobe.d file:
/usr/sbin/initramfs -u
*** Reboot your computer and verify that the NVIDIA graphics driver can ***

I am new to linux and working with gpu is needed… at first I was trying to install cuda 118 but it was conflicting with another version that was not probably uninstalled. After going through many trials and solutions I think managed to clean all installations and I installed nvidia driver (the recommended was nvidia-driver-470) and then followed the steps on the official website to install cuda 11.8
after installing cuda11-8 I found the nvidia drivers were deleted and reverted back to the novoeu version and I am undable to install any nvidia version since
I also attached the make.log file in case it helps… thanks in advance
