I am not experienced using NVIDIA and I have not been able to boot using a newly installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 with kernel version 5.11.
I am attaching here the bug report I got after installing nvidia-driver-470.

What finally worked was removing nomodeset
from grub kernel parameters. I had it because my laptop would shut down randomly without it, because my nvidia driver installation was messy.
Started with a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, booted in with nomodeset
. apt installed nvidia-utils-470. Rebooted into root shell from recovery. Verified driver installation with nvidia-smi
. Removed nomodeset
from grub. Rebooted.
Everything worked fine after this.
Thank you for your reply
Using tty2 console in recovery mode I ran
cat /etc/default/grub
and in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT I only have “quiet splash” and no nomodeset. I had enabled that before but I removed it soon after.
Running apt install nvidia-utils-470 had no results as it was already installed
nvidia-smi does return a report with no processes found (meaning its installed) but I still can’t boot.
BTW, when I boot using nomodeset I get stuck with the following msg:
hdaudio hdaudioCOD2: Unable to bind the codec
Which I couldn’t fix.
