External Monitor getting no input from laptop on Ubuntu 22.04 with GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile

First of all :)
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (145.0 KB)

I have a dual boot Windows 11 with Ubuntu 22.04. My windows works fine and external monitors work with it.

Initially the built-in screen was not recognized by the OS, therefore I figured the problem was graphics. I have a HP Victus 16-e0007ni with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobi and build-in AMD Graphics. Here is a result of a command that might help.

~$ lspci | grep VGA

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile] (rev a1)
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cezanne (rev c5)

I then swapped from what was described in the Software & Update application as a custom installed driver. To proprietary NVIDIA drivers using

~$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-510 
~$ reboot

and similar commands (i.e. 470 et cetera), after testing all of them the same thing happened.

They fixed the problem of the laptop’s built-in display not being recognized, however none of them recognized my external monitor. Further, I tried the X.org drivers. Here it worked the first time I booted, however from then on I had to boot to safe mode first for it to boot in at all. So in conclusion I now switched back, using

~$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

to nvidia-driver-515.

Anyway so here are a few suspicious things:

nvidia-smi throws this error. This leaves me to believe there is a error with loading the graphics driver.

~$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Another suspicious output:

 xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 0

This is my GPU-Manager log file

These are the Nvidia packages I believe.

This I believe this confirms my Graphics card is picked up at least

These are all the Graphics Drivers I tried with all the same problem of external monitor not displaying

~$ apt list | grep nvidia-driver

What are the chances? An NVIDIA driver update just became available an hour after I posted this and now my driver is picked up! (I just went a month without a second screen!)
The nvidia-smi runs and I have 2 screens.
