I am trying to install the nvidia driver 535 onto my new laptop with Ubuntu20.04, the installation went well. But I couldn’t get to the GUI display after reboot. There’s only a short small dash flashing in the upper left corner of the screen.
I’ve tried to reinstall, failed. Reconfigure, failed as well. Every methods I can search for have been tried and failed. The only thing left is staring at the tty page.
What can I do next to fix it, I am really anxious and confused about that. Much thanks!
Btw: Dell OMEN9slim, Ubuntu20.04, nvidia driver 535.86.05
