I’m sorry, but I don’t understand you. Could you explain it better or in a different way, please?
This has happened to me many times. When I enter the command ubuntu-drivers install, what you see in the image in my previous message appears.

editing this as I actually forgot important parts earlier in my post
ubuntu-drivers list
at which point a list of drivers should show
example:
nvidia-driver-470
nvidia-driver-470-server
nvidia-driver-535
nvidia-driver-535-open
nvidia-driver-535-server
nvidia-driver-535-server-open
nvidia-driver-550
nvidia-driver-550-open
nvidia-driver-550-server
nvidia-driver-550-server-open
Your new card should need driver version 570 if my research for that card is correct
ubuntu-drivers install
“should” automatically automatic detect and install the correct driver.
If not you can manually install with the example below (review the available driver from the output of ubuntu-drivers list)
not running list before install might have been the issue with the ubuntu-drivers install command
ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:570
which will tell it to install the 570 version of the nvida drivers.
Here’s the output of the apt install nvidia-graphics-drivers-570 command. The ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:570 command doesn’t produce any output; it’s the same as when I type just ubuntu-drivers or ubuntu-drivers list, which is nothing at all.
It says the package nvidia-graphics-driver-570 could not be located. And that output from apt install nvidia-graphics-driver-570 means it can’t find the packages to install, right? I tried entering the command apt search nvidia-driver and, to my surprise, it showed me this:
There seem to be a ton of candidates available, including 570, so I don’t know why when I try to install them it says they can’t be found. I should clarify that since I couldn’t install 570, I changed the command to replace 570 with 565, 550, etc. And the result is the same in all of them, meaning it can’t locate the package.

Before they took my old 2070 graphics card (since I’d already sold it), I decided to put it back in the computer, removing the new 5060 Ti, of course.
With this, I was able to access the Kubuntu desktop again. And since there was no way to update the drivers from recovery mode, as you can see in my previous post, I did it from the graphical interface.
Then I removed the 2070 graphics card again and put the 5060 Ti back in. And well, the result was disappointing. In other words, nothing has changed, except that now, after the logo screen, it switches to the one in the screenshot and stays there.
Well, I think I’m going to have to give up after all this. I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s currently no driver compatible with my graphics card. So I’ll have to wait for NVIDIA to release new versions and see if I have any luck, right?
Best regards…
Well, now I the time to enable the PPA for m the discussion above, it should have the 570 driver in the non-server version, I’d expect that one to work with your card
I don’t think I explained it well enough. I added the PPA from the Kubuntu GUI and updated it to the latest version of the graphics driver, which was 570. The result is as explained in my previous post.

but you made sure to not again install the -server version ? (which is mainly for AI stuff)
That’s right, it wasn’t the server version.

Ah, that’s a shame …
Driver Maturity : The RTX 5060 Ti benefits from mature NVIDIA proprietary drivers, which provide a smooth experience for both gaming and professional workloads. The NVIDIA 575.51.02 Linux beta driver, released on launch day, supports the card for gaming.
CUDA Performance : The card excels in CUDA workloads, which are crucial for tasks like scientific simulations and machine learning. The Phoronix review highlights strong performance in these areas, thanks to the mature CUDA support.
You might have to wait for 26.04 LTS.
I already tried 575.51.02 in a .run file downloaded from the NVIDIA website, but no luck. So, isn’t NVIDIA likely to release new, more compatible versions for Linux soon that would work for my Kubuntu 24.04?.
Regards…
Well that 575 driver is obviously still beta, once it stabilized I’d expect it to also appear in the PPA (if not actually in a Stable Release Update in the main archive)…
