Problem

I'm getting the following error when trying to install Nvidia-drivers on ubuntu 22.04.2(not22.04.1). If anyone knows how to deal with this, please let me know.

$ sudo ubuntu-drivers install

Solved by following command. sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:515

It seems that 525 does not match the kernel version of ubuntu22.04.2.

  • Try the 525 driver without the "-open" at the end of the name. That extra piece of name might have messed up some scripts. – ubfan1 Mar 27 '23 at 15:55
  • Ubuntu 22.04.2 could and can run many different kernels so that is not correct. – David Mar 29 '23 at 10:33
