Strange...

Close the app again.
Let's try via the terminal:

sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver-340
25

and it was using x.org but u see that it is using nvidia because i think of the command u told me before and if i reboot my pc it iwll be using the x.org not nvidia OR i can t boot and now i can t open the settings

26

it says unable to locate the package

27

It might be because the 340 driver has been out-phased. I haven't yet been able to find which is the latest driver that support your card, but I'm still looking.
Lets try the driver 440 instead.

sudo apt remove --purge *nvidia*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-440

First command will remove any nvidia package on your system, the second one will try installing the driver 440.

@Aravisian any ideas? Another kernel perhaps?

29

its downloading the package

Note, that your card may be to old for that driver.

31

32

33

Reboot, and give me the inxi -G output again.

and in about i cant see NVD7 i can see Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2)

36

there is a third option in additional drivers it is called: continue using a manually installed driver and i can t change it

37

driver: N/A

No cigar I guess.
You could try with an older kernel which support driver 340.

sudo apt remove --purge *nvidia*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-340
sudo apt install linux-image-5.4.0-109-generic linux-headers-5.4.0-109-generic

Then you need to: [HOW TO] set an older kernel to default boot

and select kernel 5.4.0

38

i can t use the second command it says:Unable to locate package nvidia-driver-340

39

Try with;

sudo apt install nvidia-340
40

there was an error:Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.15.0-52-generic (x86_64)
