Hello i have kubutnu 21.04 with kernel version 5.11.0-18-generic.
I installed the latest nvidia driver and when i bootup the system i get a black screen then i went to tty 3 and tried to start plasmashell from there and i got this output:
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display qt.qpa.plugin: could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
I the reinstalled xcb and it din't fix it. Then i changed the graphics to intel with sudo prime-select intel and restarted, the problem was gone.
So my question is how cani fix this so i can use my nvidia mx450 card instead of the intel card?
Thanks in advance!
Kde plasma version: 5.21.4; Kde frameworks version: 5.80.0; Qt version: 5.25.2
Update: when i use the x.org nouveau driver it displays that i have the nouveau driver but when i select the nvidia 465 driver cpu-x says that the nvidia card does not have a driver. https://i.stack.imgur.com/5pnbh.png

Edit: I installed the driver from the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
