I am unable to install the Nvidia driver on my Ubuntu 22.04. Previously, I had working Nvidia drivers and CUDA installation. However, to install python libraries such as pyTorch etc. I had to uninstall and install CUDA several times. Meanwhile I also had to downgrade my gcc from 11.3 to 9 as some of these libraries are not compatible with higher versions. The problem is now that when I am trying to install Nvidia driver (latest or recommended) there is some problem with the kernel. It says that my kernel was compiled using gcc version 11.3, but you are trying to build using gcc 9.5.
