For HP ZBook Firefly 16 with Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS and RTX A500.
I am able to open the nvidia-settings but changing profiles makes no difference.
nvidia-smi tells me it fails because it cannot communicate with the drivers.
Any help?
I have the following:
Secure boot is disabled.
sudo prime-select query
