When i run:

sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00002520sv00001025sd00001547bc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation  
model    : GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q]  
driver   : nvidia-driver-525-open - third-party non-free recommended  
driver   : nvidia-driver-515-server - distro non-free  
driver   : nvidia-driver-510 - distro non-free

driver   : nvidia-driver-525 - third-party non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-525-server - distro non-free
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

When i install the recommended driver (nvidia-driver-525-open), i get a black screen.

When i install nvidia-driver-515 (or any below version) i get stuck at login screen (keyboard, mouse, nothing is working… even ctrl+alt+f1 to open another tty).

This is the bug report log for the nvidia-driver-525: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/uploads/short-url/hu0foxXT3RfYSgvYz9Ei2dMtDdZ.log

What about if you just install the non-open driver `sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525`? But also make sure to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS when installing these drivers.

I disabled secure boot, installed the latest kernel, reinstalled gdm3 gnome-shell ubuntu-desktop.

Also it seems that it was missing the package xserver-xorg-input-all.

And finally i reinstalled nvidia-driver-525

Works great now :)

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.
