I cant open nvidia-settings.

 ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

This is how i installed the driver

i installed nvidia-detect , ran it and it showed the following output

  Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
  02:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX230] [10de:1d11] (rev a1)

  Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX230] (rev a1)
  Your card is supported by the default drivers.
  It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-driver
package.

i then proceeded to apt install the nvidia-driver and rebooted the system

inxi -G output
