Hi there,
I have a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB that I’m using with Ubuntu 22.04. After a s/w update, I lost access to my second monitor. I eventually found the thread Nvidia Driver is not working on Ubuntu 22.04 which solved my problem, thanks generix!
In my case I’m using driver nvidia-driver-535 and running a 6.1 kernel:
$ dkms status
nvidia/535.54.03, 5.19.0-46-generic, x86_64: installed (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)
nvidia/535.54.03, 6.1.0-1015-oem, x86_64: installed
$ uname -r
6.1.0-1015-oem
Is it safe to ignore the warnings above? My system seems to be working.
dpkg lists some old versions of libraries and drivers. Can I remove them? If so, how do I do that? sudo apt autoremove does remove them.
$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v 535
