When I try to run “nvidia-settings”, a msg appears that the driver is not loaded, and the settings is not fully functional. Have installed nvidia-driver-575 this morning, however this same issue was happening with version 570. See the screendump ..

Also, when I try to run

ubuntu-drivers devices

there is no output. I’m trying to get a dual display going. It does display, but it truncated on the RHS.

The Nvidia driver is not loaded because you do not have an Nvidia GPU installed.

Can’t I use nvidia drivers on an intel GPU then ?

No, they only write drivers for their own products.

Oh, okay thanks for letting me know. So, I can drop the ide of doing dual monitors with nvidia drivers and an Intel GPU.
