1. System: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (64-bit)
2. Question: It was still working normally yesterday. You can check the graphics card version. Today it prompts that the version does not match. I suspect it was because I installed CUDA yesterday? But cuda should not affect the graphics card driver.
So, I checked the driver version dpkg -l | grep nvidia

3. Reason: Version inconsistency caused by kernel driver update
4.Solution:
Uninstall the driver and reinstall it
(1) Uninstall the command, paste it all, execute it, and keep entering y until the execution is completed.
sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* sudo apt-get purge nvidia* sudo apt-get purge libnvidia*
(2) Check the remaining drivers of the graphics card, sudo dpkg –list | grep nvidia-* or dpkg -l | grep nvidia, and reinstall according to the current version
