I have a bug for about 1 year now! I cannot install Nvidia driver for my Nvidia
Gigabyte GeForce GT 730, the right driver that supposed to work is proprietary
470 but since Plasma 6 upgrade when I install the driver it boots and loads a
black screen that never change and I have to load safe/rescue/recovery and open
bash and uninstall anything *nvidia* and use nouveau with X11, and the only
problem why I can't keep using nouveau is it doesn't show gray lines or
whatever gray it shows it white instead! Can't find a solution! Am I must buy a
new VGA Card?
***
SUMMARY
Black screen after installing Nvidia proprietary driver 470 the recommended
one.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install software-properties-qt.
2. Go to Additional Drivers tab and choose proprietary driver 470 and apply.
3. Restart OS as requested to boot to black screen that never change.
OBSERVED RESULT
Failure loading KDE Login screen showing a black screen instead.
EXPECTED RESULT
If the driver install was working it would open the login screen so I can
choose Wayland or X11 and login!
