nvidia driver not installing and not working
nvidia-bug-report.log (1.5 MB)
Hi there @texe07,
this is not a bug, so your topic message is a bit misleading.
Your log shows numerous issues pointing to one common thing, which is that you broke the driver installation completely by trying to install different versions at once and possibly with different installation methods.
You seem to have four different drivers partly installed, but the system cannot “repair” that anymore because the packaging manager likely has broken dependencies.
-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 555.42.02). As part of installing this driver (version: 555.42.02), the existing driver will be uninstalled.
...
-> The previously installed symlink '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1' has target 'libnvidia-ml.so.535.171.04', but it was installed with target 'libnvidia-ml.so.555.42.02'. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1 will not be uninstalled.
...
-> Unable to restore symbolic link /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.545.29.06 (File exists).

You need to remove all traces of NVIDIA drivers and start from scratch, ideally through the “Additional Drivers” tab of “Software & Updates” of Ubuntu.
But to be honest, unless you really know how to do manual package repair and likely package component removal, this might not be fixable by using apt alone, you might need to re-install Ubuntu from scratch.
Sorry!
