Hi,

I am having a hard time getting NVidia drivers and CUDA installed on this my laptop. It is kind of old (Precision M4800) with Nvidia Quadro K1100M. I installed fresh Ubuntu 20.04, and I have been through many forums and articles on installing Nvidia drivers, but so far no success. It either fails to install, or fails to boot. And I am using timeshift to go back a snapshot.

I tried installing all packages listed above (2 messages ago) and I couldn't go beyond libnvidia-legacy-340xx-ml1 package because it requires libc6 (>= 2.34) but I have libc6 2.31 installed.

I also tried the kelebek333 PPA, but my machine fails to boot to UI (I can SSH into the machine though so I reverted back to previous snapshot).

Here are some details of my machine:

- Linux alm-waqas-lnx 5.15.0-60-generic #66~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 25 09:41:30 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
- GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M]

lshw -c == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000FF6sv00001028sd000015CCbc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M]
driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommended
driver : nvidia-driver-418-server - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated because i am stuck on this.

When installing the Ubuntu for the first time I didn't pay attention to that MOK enrollment, and I think I just selected to enroll. Could that be a factor here?
