Nvidia Driver Not running on Ubuntu 18.04 with linux kernel 5.4.0-74

I am having multiple problems getting my Nvidia driver to run on ubuntu 18.04. I currently had a setup working and after a reboot it seems like my nvidia drivers are not running. I tried to factory reset and re-install everything from scratch but had no luck either.

I have dual boot with windows and secure boot disabled.

I have tried multiple options from online and have gotten none to work.

Here are some outputs which may be useful

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

(This is a workaround, not a solution.)

As TorqueNoFriction mentioned on another forum, he found out that booting while having a monitor connected using display port will cause the boot-up to fail. Booting while having monitors connected using HDMI will work. I have confirmed this on my own system.

Also, you can connect and use monitors using display port after boot up.

Installing the 470 driver from the Ubuntu Nvidia testing PPA fixed the issue for me:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:albertomilone/nvidia-testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

Then reboot.

Other people (here) reported that using the server drivers from the official repositories also work:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-450-server

or

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-460-server

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
