nvidia 390 driver on 23.04/23.10

That would explain why it was working just fine for a year and then just gave up the ghost.

Thank you. I was doing some internet searching but should have checked launchpad. I'll subscribe to that bug. This works perfectly, thanks again.

Here is the problem:

scottbomb@laptop:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat grap*
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu/ jammy main

Is for Jammy, you were all talking about newer releases sand where it was dropped, which is a different issue altogether than to make it work for Jammy.

Read the second half of this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....4#post14175164

The 6.5.0 kernel was compile with gcc-12... Jammy has gcc-11. You will see, by the bug-report, changing the compiler in the work-around still doesn't work for NVidia's legacy drivers. Therefore the second half of that post is the work-around for legacy drivers... Uninstall the 6.5.0 series kernels and pin the kernels to 6.2.0 or remove the HWE stack so the kernels are at the 5.15 series.

Canonical & Launchpad is trying to work on a fix for legacy drivers working with 6.5.0 and newer kernels, but they are not there yet

I've had multiple people tell me that the Jammy version of 390 in my PPA worked for them with 6.5, and while I don't have an Nvidia card to fully test it, I was able to verify that it builds/installs correctly in a Jammy VM.
As for the Mantic version, I just straight copied the binaries from the Jammy version and didn't test it, so I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't work.

I have a laptop that is stuck at nvidia-driver-390. I can test and verify that... I might have some time tonight to do that. BRB

@Yellow Pasque:
