I am trying to run the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.256.02.run file under Ubuntu 24.10 in a tty terminal (with all the GUI terminals closed) in order to install a better driver for the NVIDIA QUADRO K600 (where currently DVI works great on the card, but the DP Display Port does not work at all). Strangely enough, there is no kernel driver in use:
stephen@stephen-All-Series:~$ lspci

There is an article How to Select Kernel Use for GPU which suggests that the kernel might be selected. However, this article How to unbind a gpu /sys/bus/pci has a problem that the "/sys/bus/pci/driver/nvidia/" folder is not found, and indeed even only the "/sys/bus/pci/drivers" directory exists.
My computer's configuration is:

I logged out of all of the Knome graphics displays to get to login windows or terminals which could be accessed with Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, installed gcc and make and then was able to get to the stage of running the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.256.02.run" file from the terminal as root. The resulting log file is very log, so I am just showing the head and tail entries. The file itself is 1.56 MB, so here is just the beginning and end:

-> Detected 4 CPUs online; setting concurrency level to 4.
-> Installing NVIDIA driver version 470.256.02.
-> An alternate method of installing the NVIDIA driver was detected. (This is usually a package provided by your distributor.) A driver installed via that method may integrate better with your system than a driver installed by nvidia-installer.
Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate installation method and decide how to proceed:
The NVIDIA driver provided by Ubuntu can be installed by launching the "Software & Updates" application, and by selecting the NVIDIA driver from the "Additional Drivers" tab.
