Hi there.
Ubuntu loads and X runs fine. But the graphics card driver isn’t being used (nouveau is being used instead).
I installed the 430 driver with apt.
$ apt list --installed | grep nvidia

I’ve been going around and around in circles. I’ve tried all the recommendations from all the similar topics. Please have a look and see what you can see from the log report.
Does nvidia black list exist?
$ cat /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
cat: /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf: No such file or directory
No
Black list nouveau
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
$ cat /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
blacklist nouveau; options nouveau modeset=0
Yes
Other modprobes
$ $ grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf:blacklist nvidiafb
/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf:options nvidia-drm modeset=1
Look for UEFI secureboot
$ zcat nvidia-bug-report.log.gz | grep -i secureboot
$
Run xrandr from Desktop
$ xrandr --verbose > journal-nvidia.log
Set nvidia profile
$ sudo prime-select nvidia
Info: the nvidia profile is already set
Yes
