Hello @generix and @j22gim
I have similar problems, and I’ve posted them here.
I did:
Now I have the problem that software&updates will not let me check any other driver to install:
You shouldn’t have done that, it was only meant for @j22gim’s system to clean up runfile installer issues not related to the bug.
I guess Ubuntu meanwhile introduced an additional check in Software&Updates to detect an earlier runfile install. Please try to install it manually running
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
PS: rather stick to the other thread as there’s already amrits of nvidia active.
Ok I have tried and found some obstacles, I did not complete even the 2nd step. I report here to avoid messing up my system again.
.
2) run the runfile installer for 535.113.01 with option -b. No rebooting.
The file I used is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.113.01.run. After checking that it is executable, I used this command in the terminal:
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.113.01.run -b
.
To which I found this error:
ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia-drm' appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA
Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure to exit any programs that may be using the
GPU(s) before attempting to upgrade your driver. If no GPU-based programs are running, you know that your kernel supports module unloading, and you still receive this message,
then an error may have occurred that has corrupted an NVIDIA kernel module's usage count, for which the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer.
After pressing OK:
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file "/var/log/nvidia-installer.log" for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on
the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

I have seen many posts about this but again, I don’t want to try anything crazy. I really need my system up and going.
I did not reboot.
This is expected on that step, just ignore and continue with the next step, --uninstall.
The last step now has to done manually due to changes in Ubuntu’s software&updates

Sorry I missed that you meant this, right?
but for my case, with 525.
OK? I will wait for your green light just in case…
@generix, I used the command sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525, rebooted, and the NVIDIA settings dialogs shown the same.
However my 2nd display is working fine so I would prefer not to touch anything except that you have a strong reason to.
I include the new log file in case it is of help to diagnose the problem:
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (158.1 KB)
Just to be cautious from now on, what is the next step? I guess I should wait until a newer driver is released (newer that the 545.23.06 BETA, which also didn’t work for me), and then try again. If it doesn’t work, I can always come back to the current 525 I’m using now, sounds good?
now back in the office, with a different external monitor, this crazy thing happens.
I also have seen that I seem to have several drivers in my system.

I now also have this problem, and driver version 525 does not appear in software & updates. Please may I have some help? I’ve switched to Nouveau for the time being.
edit 1: how do i uninstall my graphics card drivers, it won’t let me change back
edit 2: it seems updating to latest (570) fixed it. ill leave this here for any people coming to this thread in the future
edit 3: that worked for a time but then didn’t anymore :[
