Another post suggested to just downgrade driver versions until you get the right one. Again, the installed driver was nvidia-driver-525-open`. When booted (finally) into the system I would run a sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade just to be on the safe side.

Purge nvidida " sudo apt purge nvidia*".Further more, once every other boot the screen would just turn black and freeze. i believe that, somehow, the USB-C port got corrupted because I would be getting this errorĬode: USCI_PDOS failed (-95) every time I would reboot and the docking station was plugged in (regardless if the HDMI cable was in the docking station or not). Suddenly the screen turned to 0 brightness and the brightness controls (Fn keys + settings slider) wouldn't work anymore. Now I tested it and it worked! I could use a second monitor.īut not for long. Previously, my system wouldn't see my second monitor which I connect through a docking station with a USB-C cable. I could run nvidia-smi and I would get results and nvidia-settings would contain all the GPU details and not only the "demand" or "performance" mode selection. Until I noticed in a comment that nvidia-driver-525-open is not supported on all boards and I should switch to nvidia-driver-525 - so I did. I would easily fix this by just entering ttyl3 and reinstalling the drivers. I would run several times one after the other into the what seems to me, the very popular, "blinking cursor in top left corner". I am not exaggerating when I say that I tried all solutions I could find on Askubuntu, Ubuntu forums and the general internet to try and make this card visible. After a while I started to look into if my nvidia driver is visible and if the card is recognized. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 with no problems. The specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU.
