NVidia Drivers vanished

Version Kernel - Recovery Mode
6.17.023generic (recovery mode).

if you want to block one of the drivers, it's better to do - dpkg to fix the drivers, then - resume.
then go to update and select the driver, it will be much more correct with clean packages without tails.

And now?

  1. dpkg
  2. resume

log in you can immediately go look at the settings/update drivers everything should be fine.
you just had an ARMHF error = 404 for some reason so the drivers were not installed.

  1. Dpkg

Then I pressed ENTER and hit resume and got this message

I pressed OK and then got hit with this post screen, nothing else happens

Did you completely reboot your computer?
Okay, let's go back to Esc, the Zorin add-on, the command line.

mount -o remount,rw /
apt purge nvidia*
apt autoremove

reboot

Yes, I did reboot my PC and got the post screen again

I rebooted and pressed ESC, what do you mean by "Zorin add-on", "the command line" and "lock one of the drivers"?

Which these options do I select? Do I go back to the recovery menu? If so each option do I choose to Run those commands?

Damn, it's a shame there's no video help or remote control, you just take a long time to answer, I have to translate it and then write and translate it for you.
Sorry for my bad translation if something is not clear.

root

  1. mount -o remount,rw /
  2. apt purge nvidia*
  3. apt autoremove
  4. reboot

No problem!
I figured out it was Root. I can now access my desktop again. I still can't launch any videogames, but NVIDIA drivers show on "Additional drivers" on "Software & Updates". However, if I try to install any of the drivers I get this error message

try it if something goes wrong you will already know how to put it back you won't break anything!
I'm glad that at least you were able to log in, maybe you had a conflict with some old drivers, I don't know why but you were looking for an update for mobile phones or raspberry pi
if the system sees the drivers now, it's worth trying 100% to put something..
if something is above the command you can return it all.

As soon as the services reconnect, you will be able to upload something without any problems. The services are probably not responding.

Good night, friend, unfortunately I can't help you with anything else yet. It makes no sense to download broken drivers if the services don't respond.
The fact that you already have the drivers is a victory, as soon as there is a connection you can install them.

I guess. A shame I can't revert to the 580 driver until then at least. Guess I'll just have to wait. Thanks for the help!

Use Timeshift or Recuzilla for the future. I often have such situations, but I'm not afraid to experiment.
the more experiments, the better new people will get to know the system)

I don't understand only one thing, either you had other drivers in the system that were not installed to the end or why the kernel refused to see the new drivers, since nouveau which in the kernel itself we couldn't do anything with them!
why the kernel didn't switch from nouveau to new drivers is a mystery.

These are when You use it for Server and not for Home PC's.

Then try it with installing the Driver with:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-595 nvidia-dkms-595

to get the 595 Driver. If You want a different Driver Version, simply replace the 595 with the Driver Number, You want use. For Example 580 or 550.

P.S.: You should maybe wait a bit to do that because at the Moment are some Issues with Updates because of a Hackerattack to Canonical.

So it doesn't work, yesterday I tried when the system installed the broken beta driver 595, to change it to 590, but the kernel prioritizes 595, and for some reason it installed no more there were still options 570 and lower.
there was no 590 or 580 which are the most stable today.
with a 5080 video card he clearly doesn't use the pc as a server, especially when talking about games.
You install the 590 driver and you get 595. This is 100% because I personally checked it yesterday.

I was able to update to 595. I haven't played anything to check if everything is fine, but I am able to launch video games with no problem so far. Thanks for all the help!

I've been having similar issues to the OP - all my games run slow (both on Steam and ATL launcher) and the displays are acting funny.

I booted into XORG which resolved the issue with maximised Windows not displaying properly.

I got this message when I checked to see if the drivers were installed:

apt list nvidia-driver-580 nvidia-driver-595
Listing... Done
nvidia-driver-580/noble-updates 580.142-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 amd64
nvidia-driver-595/noble-updates 595.58.03-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 amd64

It looks like the drivers are installed, but they just aren't performing properly - which makes me wonder if the issue is that the kernel is prioritising the drivers elsewhere.

I have Windows, although it is installed on a separate hard drive - not a partition.

I've emailed Zorin support as I'm on Pro - I'm hoping they get back to me soon.

To be honest, I had problems with 595 because it was still like a beta 1 release.

I didn't install 595 because it was too new and experimental - and you never know what to expect with the latest editions.

I've disabled Canonical updates, did some updates, although they didn't seem to be for my graphics driver. Unless of course, it's updated to 595 which has somehow escaped my notice.

The drivers appear to have worked!

When rebooting I got the message 'is already bound to nouveu' repeated instead of the white dashes streaked across the screen, and when Zorin restarted, for the first time since this began - the monitors are the right way around, (so me left screen is '1' again and my right screen is '2') and the login appeared on the left instead of the right screen.

There was just one hitch - I launched Steam and launched a game, although the system seemed to freeze up, and I couldn't scroll on the system monitor.

I've rebooted, and I went to see if there were any other updates. There weren't in software centre, although the software app listed 12 apps which needed updating. I've updated those, and I'm about to reboot - wish me luck.
