Just ran into this again. The solution was to:
sudo apt install linux-modules-nvidia-535-`uname -r`
** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-535 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-550 (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-550 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Critical => Undecided
** Summary changed:
- Nvidia driver 550 fails to install any kernel module on Noble
+ linux-modules-nvidia-* is not automatically installed; no working kernel
module
** Description changed:
- Nvidia driver 550 fails to install any kernel module on Noble.
-
- I've tried installing it multiple times through 'Additional Drivers' and
- on the command line. The nvidia 550 packages install successfully but no
- kernel module is installed.
-
- This problem does NOT occur with 470, 535 or 545.
+ After installing and uninstalling Nvidia drivers once or twice, they
+ stop functioning completely. Seems nvidia.ko is no longer installed, and
+ linux-modules-nvidia-* needs to be manually installed.
