Update: I just upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and still no 550 drivers available. Before upgrading to 24.04 I tried installing the driver version 545 on Ubuntu 23.10 via the driver tool and immediately got hit by a dependency error and at some point the installation just froze. I decided to install 24.04 freshly from scratch after this.
Nvidia driver installation really has to be worked on when installing via the additional drivers tool. It's lacking newer drivers and it's too unstable when doing anything above the tested driver set. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062967 Title: ubuntu-drivers no longer offers nvidia 550 drivers Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: While I am unclear which package update impacted the video drivers detected by ubuntu-drivers, the nvidia 545 and nvidia 550 video drivers are no longer shown as an option on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 video card. I can understand the removal of the nvidia 545 drivers as the current kernel's linux-signatures-nvidia-6.8.0-28-generic package lacks signatures for the nvidia 545 kernel modules for secure boot but the nvidia 550 kernel modules signatures are available. So while it would be acceptable to downgrade the 'tested' default nvidia driver to 535, ubuntu-drivers and Additional Drivers should be offering the nvidia 550 drivers as an untested option.
