Ubuntu 20.04 drivers not working

Hi I can’t seem to get my nvidia drivers working. I reinstalled ubuntu, but they are still not working. Nvidia-smi keeps returning No devices were found.

When run the nvidia-bug-report.sh I get:

*** /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/520.56.06/5.15.0-52-generic/x86_64/log/make.log

Is there something wrong with my gcc? I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but it didn’t help.

Tried reinstalling kernel headers, but that didn’t help

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-generic
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-generic

My driver version based off of cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version is:

NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX Open Kernel Module for x86_64  520.56.06  Release Build  (dvs-builder@U16-T12-10-2)  Thu Oct  6 21:33:54 UTC 2022
GCC version:  gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 

Has anyone experienced something like this or has advice on how to fix it?

After I change the driver it always gets stuck on a purple screen.

Please create a new bug-report.log.

I figured it out. Changing the drivers fixed the problem. The login page was just showing on my HDMI dummy plug. Thank you
