Hi, please give me a help, thanks

You might try downgrading ubuntu to the GA kernel though I doubt this will make the 465 driver compile.

Hi generix,
Thanks a lot, and could you tell me how to check which kernel version v465 compiled with?

Driver v465 is from may 2021 https://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/465.31/
So the GA kernel 5.4 of Ubuntu 20.04 should work though a patch might still be needed due to backports: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/linux-6-7-3-545-29-06-550-40-07-error-modpost-gpl-incompatible-module-nvidia-ko-uses-gpl-only-symbol-rcu-read-lock/280908?u=generix
