Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute hippo)

7,080

Little late for this but I just encountered this issue and I fixed it by reinstalling the Nvidia drivers:

sudo apt reinstall nvidia-driver-460

I didn't install anything that could cause this issue but Ubuntu had a few updates and it happened after that.

    Can someone help me to install drivers for my Nvidia GPU RTX 3080 on Razer Blade Advanced 2021?

    I'm curious if I did something wrong during the fresh installation. (Everything was working fine on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

    Original issue: The second monitor is not detected on Wayland

    I've tried following code and got this message:

    spartan@razer-lt:~$ ubuntu-drivers devices

    EDIT 1: I can't select a different driver either. During the installation, I've ticked the box to install 3rd party drivers, tools... Software & update center

    Thank you in advance!
