After almost 3-4 days of struggle I’m finally creating a topic regarding this.
Background: I’m on Kubuntu 22.04, and wanted to work on pytorch-cuda 12.1. So I wanted to install cuda 12.1. I checked out the CUDA 12.1 Toolkit download page, followed the instruction, everything was fine during installation then I got this error.

I: (UUID=14fb6d4d-e4db-45a5-b4de-579c527f9d63)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

I tried overwriting as mentioned in this post https://askubuntu.com/a/1116795
I tried again, and got this error:

As I already made a timeshift stamp while booting into new Kubuntu 22.04. So I rolled back and tried again and got same error. I tried disabling secure boot but still got the same error.
I wasted around 3-4 days figuring this out but couldn’t solved it. I need help regarding this issue.
