Whenever I boot Ubuntu 22.04, I get the error: Failed to start nvidia-powerd service.
I’m running a Lenovo Legion Y740 notebook with the following specifications:
Processor: Intel(R) Core™ i7-8750H
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design
This is the output of systemctl status nvidia-powerd
:
