Hello everyone
I am having issues getting nvidia rtx 4060 to be seen by ubuntu 24.10
The laptop spec:
OS: Xubuntu 24.10 x86_64
Host: 82Y4 Legion Slim 7 16APH8
Kernel: 6.11.0-14-generic
Uptime: 4 mins
Packages: 3906 (dpkg), 22 (flatpak), 18 (snap)
Shell: zsh 5.9
Resolution: 3200x2000
DE: Xfce 4.18
WM: Xfwm4
WM Theme: Lavanda-Sea-Dark
Theme: Lavanda-Sea-Dark [GTK2/3]
Icons: Papirus-Dark [GTK2/3]
Terminal: tilda
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (16) @ 1.500GHz
GPU: AMD ATI 65:00.0 Phoenix1
Memory: 3810MiB / 31272MiB
I tried to purge all drivers and install nvidia-driver-530, nvidia-driver-560 and nvidia-driver-570 but neither of them worked. I have windows installed and windows seems to work with nvida gpu, no issues whatsoever, so definitely not a hardware issue. When i swicth to discrete graphics in bios settings and boot linux i get black screen as if the gpu drivers are not being loaded. Secure boot is also disaled. Here are a few commands i ran:
$ grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*
