Fresh Zorin 18 install - can't load Nvidia drivers

[Minoscereb]

I found this solution in another thread with similar Nvidia issues.

I can't get the NVIDIA drivers to work Zorin OS 18 Core

You could try to install the Driver over the Terminal? Maybe that workd better. First uninstall current Driver with: sudo apt purge nvidia* libnvidia* Then make: sudo apt autoremove to delete File Rests. Then install the Driver with: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-[Version-Number] nvidia-dkms-[Version-Number] Replace [Version-Number] with the Number of the Driver, You want use. Here an Example: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580 nvidia-dkms-580

Essentially just install the driver from the terminal instead.

I've run the commands now and rebooted my system, and the system information now shows my Nvidia GPU, and when I check aditional drivers in Software & Updates, it says I'm using the proper 580 driver.

I haven't tried running anything gpu dependent, or tried Wayland (currently running X11), so fingers crossed all of that works too.
