Runs ok with nouveau driver installed but doesn’t recognize 2nd monitor. When I install nvidia-driver-535 (or any other version) and reboot it locks up after Grub and I can’t SSH to the machine. I get blue horizontal bars across the screen. I’ve tried other nvidia drivers as well with the same result.
Linux headers are installed for 6.5.0-45-generic. I boot into recovery with 6.5.0-41.generic.
$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
$ prime-select query

$ sudo prime-select nvidia

If your using the default desktop environment for ubuntu I believe it defaults to wayland which is broken for it’s stock nvidia packages, the solution is to load up with nouveau and log out to the login screen, select x11 from the drop down menu, then log back in, so x11 is the default and then install nvidia, and reboot
or there are other ways as well, but that is the simplest, and uses only gui’s
the other solution is to install the nvidia driver from the nvidia website, which is linked in a post stickied in this thread, and you’ll want to go ahead and grab the latest one, and look up instructions for installing it
@LinuxGaming81734 thank you for the feedback.
In between posting here, I noticed I had some Ubuntu updates pending, so I decided to go ahead and make those updates. I rebooted and everything is working as expected. I checked and and I was and still am using Wayland. I switched to X11 and it works just as well.
I’m still using the Nouveau driver. I’m wondering if I want to press my luck and trying install the Nvidia driver again. I may do that in few days. Right now I need to get caught up on some work. I’ll post here to share outcome.
