I have been trying to make my GPU work with Ubuntu system to no avail.
I tried installing the driver through ubuntu-drivers first. Since most of them gave “RmInitAdapter failed” error and nvidia:545 could not be built on my machine. I updated to Ubuntu 22 LTS from Ubuntu 20 LTS.
Then I tried through ubuntu-drivers(same error) and then through the .run file in Nvidia website(similar errors).
My inxi -G output is:

Please help me debug and fix the issue. I have tried to use the -m kernel-open paramter, and then without neither one worked.
