Hello,
I recently (4 weeks ago) bought a laptop with a Nvidia 3060 RTX. However, I haven’t been able to make it work since, using Ubuntu 20.04.
The problem:
As soon as I install the Nvidia drivers (be it 510 or 470) and restart, the computer won’t run past the loading screen. I tried opening a terminal with CTRL + ALT + F2-7, but I can’t type anything.
The only way for it to launch is to go in recovery mode, root terminal, and type prime-select intel (or plainly removing the driver packages). Only then does the GUI launch.
Already tried:
I tried to install / remove / purge / reinstall the drivers a few times each (470 & 510), through the command line, with the .run file, and with Ubuntu Software & Updates > Additional drivers, with no success.
-
I also tried switching back and forth to
prime-select intelandprime-select nvidiaafter installing, as I’ve seen a few comments saying it was enough to solve their problem. But no. -
Finally, I tried adding the
graphics-driver/ppaand reinstall the drivers afterwards. But you already know how it ended. -
The .run file actually gave another outcome:
ERROR: Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.By the way, here’s what

As part of installing this driver (version: 510.54), the existing driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? (Answer: Continue installation) -> An alternate method of installing the NVIDIA driver was detected. (This is usually a package provided by your distributor.) A driver installed via that method may integrate better with your system than a driver installed by nvidia-installer. Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate installation method and decide how to proceed: The NVIDIA driver provided by Ubuntu can be installed by launching the "Software & Updates" application, and by selecting the NVIDIA driver from the "Additional Drivers" tab.

I come here as a last resort after all this.
