Leading off of this thread
If anyone is experiencing this same issue, and sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550 did not work, and you are running a legacy gpu - you might want to try an older version of the nvidia driver that works for your graphics card.
My graphics card
graphics card: GK107GLM [Quadro K1000M]
My Solution:
- v470 works
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470
