ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
Please try a simply reinstall sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver-430
If you boot in uefi-mode deactivate secure-boot if it is set, before.
Been recently running into this problem, so it may be related to a recent update.
Give this a try:
sudo prime-select nvidia
sudo rm /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
Reference here
I'm able to boot with dual-monitors, indicating that the GPU ( GTX 970 in my case) is being utilized. However, running into other bugs.
