I am having multiple problems getting my Nvidia driver to run on ubuntu 18.04. I currently had a setup working and after a reboot it seems like my nvidia drivers are not running. I tried to factory reset and re-install everything from scratch but had no luck either.

I have dual boot with windows and secure boot disabled.

I have tried multiple options from online and have gotten none to work.

Here are some outputs which may be useful
