NVidia driver 520.61.05 / Cuda 11.8 / RTX 3090 = black display and superslow modesets

I have the same problem, and found it a little hard to revert to the old version. Here are the command that saved me:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install cuda=11.7.1-1 cuda-drivers=515.65.07-1 libcudnn8-dev=8.5.0.96-1+cuda11.7 libcudnn8=8.5.0.96-1+cuda11.7

I found some help in that post:

Ubuntu install specific old cuda drivers combo

So I did some testing, and it does look like there is ever so slightly a way around this with the right combination. I did a test of all the versions of cuda and all versions of cuda-drivers in the repo as of this morning, after the latest drivers were added. for cudaver in $(apt list cuda -a 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}' | xargs) ; do for driverver in $(apt list cuda-drivers -a 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}' | xargs) ; do echo $cudaver $driverver ; sudo apt-get install cuda=$cudaver cuda-dri…

The key to find the old version name is to use “apt list -a cuda”, “apt list -a libcudnn8”.
