It is well known that the 340.108 driver has not been maintained by Nvidia for a few years now. Even the fervent Arch User Repository (AUR) community seems to have lost interest in updating those drivers with new patches. Even the Nouveau drivers do not work well, except on Opensuse Tumbleweed ;-) I suggest to those who need to upgrade to new versions of Ubuntu or derivatives to first remove the existing drivers, install the upgrade to the new distro release and possibly reinstall the 340.108 drivers: in the case of black screens or malfunctions it will be easier to remove them without blocking the entire operating system. The bravest can try to install the Debian Unstable drivers that seem to have been patched up to kernel 6.14. You can find the changelog here: https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx_340.108-25_changelog If you succeed, please share the information and tutorial.
