I try to run nvidia-settings under my fresh kubuntu installation and selected 418 (proprietary) in "Settings"/"Driver manager" : https://prnt.sc/8wPVX8vBiFd_

But I got errors with command :

$ nvidia-settings

(process:58464): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:47:06.107: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded

ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

I tried and failed to install nvidia-prime :

    for the first you need more space in boot. https://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-boot and please [edit] your question and show us dpkg -l | grep xdg – nobody May 23 '22 at 18:20
  • I added Edit block. How many space I need space in boot ? – Petro Gromovo May 23 '22 at 19:57
  • Now I have /dev/sdb1 ext4 339M 234M 80M 75% /boot – Petro Gromovo May 23 '22 at 19:57
  • If to reinstall kubuntu one more time setting /boot on big partition - would it be ok ? – Petro Gromovo May 25 '22 at 11:22

    the problem is a bug in pakckagekit. when you use plasma-discover older kernel can not be removed with sudo apt autoremove --purge because they are marked as manual installed. apt-mark showmanual | grep linux-'[g|i|m|h]' – nobody May 25 '22 at 18:38
  • Thanks! It helped! I amnaged to install nvidia-prime and run nvidia-settings . Could you please which are console commnads to check if nvidia is correctyed correctly with best options ? – Petro Gromovo May 25 '22 at 19:57
  • dkms status will show it. – nobody May 25 '22 at 19:59
