Hello Daniel,

thanks for taking a look! Not sure if I am going to be able to test this
after all. I just ran Ubuntu 23.04 updates like I always do, and noticed
that 23.04 now has access to Nvidia driver 530, so I ran Ubuntu updates,
which unfortunately nuked my Ubuntu install.

This is what happened:

- I ran the preinstalled Ubuntu 23.04 update tool
- Ubuntu mentioned a bunch of Nvidia packages that needed to be updated and a 
bunch of Linux headers to be removed
- I let Ubuntu do its thing and update the system
- After a reboot I had nvidia-settings installed, but it was missing everything 
feature-wise and was pretty much blank, no hardware acceleration
- So I ran Ubuntu updates again and this time it had a bunch of old Nvidia 525 
files and Linux headers to remove
- I proceeded and rebooted
- Nvidia-settings is still blank, no 3d acceleration whatsoever
- So I opened the driver utility tool and switched from Nvidia 525 to the Xorg 
Nouveau driver and rebooted
- Now Ubuntu won't boot and shows a blinking cursor on the top left corner, 
which freezes after a while
- So after a hard reset of the pc, I pressed and held "shift" upon boot
- I added "nomodeset" to the kernel boot options (btw, Ubuntu is now using a 
"low latency kernel" by default for some reason)
- Which allowed me to boot into Ubuntu
- Now I switched over to the new Nvidia 530 driver and rebooted
- Still a blank Nvidia-settings app and still no hardware acceleration
- Tried reinstalled the Nvidia driver again, to no avail

After some digging around I found:

drivers-530/+bug/2023946

- https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/530-doesnt-work-on-
ubuntu-23-04/256721/3

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2015775

Since this is a stable production system, I am considering downgrading
back to the 22.04 LTS at this point.
