i am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. My GPU is RTX A5000. I am facing issues with NVIDIA driver from the apt repo. It restarts my PC even when plotting graphs. it does not recognise my GPU’s name in the 'Software and Update".
The same is true for both 515 and 510 driver. However it does recognise my GPU’s name on nvidia-smi.

I decided to install the latest driver from the official website.
But I get some error. Here is the log file.
nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'

ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia-drm' appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure to exit any programs that may be using the GPU(s) before attempting to upgrade your driver. If no GPU-based programs are running, you know that your kernel supports module unloading, and you still receive this message, then an error may have occurred that has corrupted an NVIDIA kernel module's usage count, for which the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer.
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.
