Describe the bug

When starting, the wrong Nvidia driver is found. When I try to update, it says I have 470.82.01 on my system, but in Nuvola only version nvidia-470-82-00 exist (for 470-82.x). Therefore, I cannot update the driver or start the player. I am using a freshly installed version of Kubuntu 21.10 on a Dell XPS 7590.

Hello @abdaxz. Thanks for reporting your issue. Unfortunately, Nvidia driver 470.82.01 doesn't seem available for download from nvidia website, so it cannot be included in the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia flatpak. I recommend upgrading your system driver to version 470.86.

@jiri-janousek thanks a lot for the swift reply! Based on your reply, I had a look at it turns out that, for some reason, I wasn't using the default driver for Kubuntu. I actually downgraded to the recommended driver and now everything works nicely.
