Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, RTX 3060Ti, Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice

I am facing a strange problem out of nowhere. I turned off the PC fine with latest Nvidia proprietary drivers installed yesterday. Booting this morning, I noticed that one of my two monitors was not working and noticed these error messages on reboot

[ 7.348261] kernel: [drm:nv_drm_load [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000800] Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice
[ 7.348371] kernel: [drm:nv_drm_probe_devices [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000800] Failed to register device

Thinking some driver crash, I uninstalled proprietary driver using TTY and installed default driver but I am still seeing same DRM error on boot. I am unable to install proper drivers (all Nvidia drivers are grayed out in Ubuntu software “additional drivers”) so unable to use my dual monitor setup. I have a dual boot setup with Windows and it works fine with Windows. I have disabled Virtualization in BIOS, no effect.

The system is unstable as well. Sometimes after login, I get a black screen but the PC is working in the background because I hit the correct keyboard shortcuts, I'm able to shutdown the PC. Sometimes it won't go black and work flawlessly (it has been working with one monitor for last 12hrs)

uname -r outputs 5.15.0-52-generic

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Update: I went ahead and using TTY I installed the nvidia-driver-515-server drivers. I have not restart the PC since though. How do I troubleshoot this issue

I think my issue is identical to this one https://askubuntu.com/questions/1435759/nvidia-driver-is-no-longer-working-with-new-kernel?rq=1

Try rolling back your driver. I had the same error message with RTX2070 on driver version 515 and 520.

I installed driver 510, which works fine for me.

I have a rtx 3060ti also. had to install the legacy driver:

sudo apt remove nvidia* && \
sudo apt autoremove && \
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver-470

remember to reboot then try nvidia-smi. if gpu device still not found look at kernel log for clues

cat /var/log/kern.log

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.
