Nividia 470 driver not working after update to kernel 6.8.0-83

It is strange that the maintainers decided to drop the signed modules during a maintenance update of a LTS version though. It would have been nice if the update automatically switched to the DKMS modules, but maybe that wasn’t technically feasible, I don’t know.

It was likely an Nvidia (therefore upstream) decision. See this similar post:

Error trying to use Nvidia 390 driver

Guys - While nothing last forever in this world >> The 390 version driver is no longer supported - Nvidia dropped support in 2022, and Ubuntu’s last supported release was 22.04 see: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142/~/support-timeframes-for-unix-legacy-gpu-releases Now that said - there might be other alternatives for patched drivers - as I have not used these sources I can not vouch for them. But look at: -hope this helps-
