Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS
GeForce GTX 970M
Laptop: Clevo P170SM-A
Kernel: 4.18.0-21-generic
Driver: 430.26

Previously, I have purged the system of all nvidia installation by using:

sudo dpkg --get-selections|grep nvidia|grep -v deinstall|grep -v common|awk '{print $1}'|xargs sudo apt-get -y remove

and installed the recommended driver from:

$ ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd000013D8sv00001558sd00007481bc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GM204M [GeForce GTX 970M]
driver   : nvidia-driver-410 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-396 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-driver-415 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-driver-418 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-driver-430 - third-party free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

with this command:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430

However, after reboot, this is the result

$ sudo prime-select query
nvidia
$ sudo nvidia-smi
No devices were found

Attached is the result of the nvidia bug reporting script, please let me know if any other information is needed, I have been at this for a week trying different versions of drivers but to no avail, so any help would be appreciated!

$ nvidia-settings
