Recently I have been trying to install nvidia graphics drivers but I guess with little to no effect.
When I use
nvidia-smi
The result I get is
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running
The data file from my nvidia-bug-report.log.tz should be attached in this post

Please post the output of
dpkg -l |grep nvidia
and
dkms status
Furthermore, please make sure secure boot is disabled in bios.

dkms status is an empty string
secure boot is disabled
You have precompiled, signed nvidia modules for the standard kernel (5.15.0-46) installed but are running an oem kernel (5.14.0-1048-oem).
Youâll either have to switch to the standard kernel in grub or install the dkms modules instead.
So I installed dkms modules and I switched to the standard kernel (5.15.0-46) in the grub menu, it seemed to work the best, since when I reach the login screen, it also shows on the second monitor. The problem is that when I log into my account, my computer freezes and it disconnects from the monitor
Either or, doesnât matter, though.
Please create a new nvidia-bug-report.log

If it matters, I generated this file from an oem kernel, since I couldnât run anything on the standard one.
[ 34.281583] [drm:__nv_drm_gem_nvkms_memory_prime_get_sg_table [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Cannot create sg_table for NvKmsKapiMemory 0x000000006bad1422
Please set kernel parameter
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
Iâm not sure whether or not I did it correctly, since I have never set a kernel parameter, but I edited /ect/default/grub file and added the parameter you mentioned, at the end of the file.
I restarted my computer and in the GRUB menu, I chose advaced options, hovered the standard 5.15.0-46 kernel and pressed âeâ. Then, I found a line that started with âlinuxâ and after the words âquiet splashâ I wrote nvidia-drm.modeset=1 (remembered to add space afterâsplashâ) and pressed F10.
Iâm writing in so much detail since Iâm not sure if I did everything correctly because unfortunately, I didnât see any change.
Please remove it from the end of /ect/default/grub and put it inside
GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT=âquiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1â
afterwards, run
sudo update-grub
In the login screen, please check what session is selected, should be gnome on Xorg.
I changed the grub file and installed GNOME session manager and it works. Thanks!
