Me too I did the update today, and it resulted in installing the new kernel 5.17.5. Even though the nvidia driver 470 is installed sudo modprobe nvidia
doesn't work telling me that there are no modules in /lib/modules/5.17.5-76051705-generic
and thus when running nvidia-smi
I got an error and my second screen doesn't work.
I ran into this as well but a little different. I can only have the 470 drivers installed. See https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/2367 (closed above). After the update, I cannot boot to desktop. See troubleshooting at https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/2367 . I noted that @BassemKaroui reported that the second minotor does not work. This also is part of my issue. But, the second monitor is not the main monitor so the boot fails. During boot, the one screen comes on but as the non-primary screen, it has no login so is blank and then the kernel panic apparently happens cascading to a terminal prompt showing the failed booting process.
Distribution (run
cat /etc/os-release

Issue/Bug Description:
This morning, I updated my "Operating System Updates" in the Pop!_Shop. After restarting, I also decided to update my Nvidia drivers from the 470 version to 510. I Installed the 510 package from the shop app and restarted my computer.
Then, I noticed I could not boot into any mode besides "Integrated graphics". Attempting to do so causes the initial login screen for my user to not show up, and basically after the boot disk encryption password input, the screen goes black.
So I restarted in recovery mode's previous conf, and was able to get it running.
I then attempted to install 470 again to fix my situation. But it is now not possible.
The Pop!_Store app simply crashes as it tries to install it. And running
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-470
from the command line gives the following result:Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Not sure
Expected behavior:
That the 510 drivers would install properly, and since they don't then I could re-install the 470 drivers again.
Other Notes:
Obviously, the driver is not properly installed. Running
nvidia-smi
gives the following output:First of all, can I undo this problem and get my video card to actually work with either of the two driver versions?
I did come across a similar issue here, but the workaround did not work, still cannot install either of the driver packages:
