Re: #9 question, I figured it out. Steps were as follows:
1) Download the Ubuntu .deb package files mentioned in the Bash Shell Script
into a directory. (Use the packages.ubuntu.com site, select the 24.04 LTS
version, copy/paste the package names into the search box.)
2) Open terminal window in that directory. Have saved the here attached
InstallNvidiaDrivers.sh Bash script. Run that Bash Script with sudo.
3) Once that is done, IPL. System should come up on the working Nvidia 580
driver version.
4) Use the apt-mark hold command to mark to retain for now the desirable
version of the Nvidia 580 drivers.
5) Get yourself a Willy Wonka Triple Burpacola to celebrate working Nvidia
drivers.... (Root Beer, in other words!)
