I have a RTX 5080 on Ubuntu 2024 and I cannot make the cuda driver work again.
It once worked but did not any more after a reboot. I used the change to run apt-get upgrade, removed nvidia (12.8) and installed the current one (12.9).

nouveau is black listed and not loaded.
I’m only remotely on the machine, but AFAIK I have secure boot disabled, which is what also nivdia-but-report.sh says
