Title says pretty much all. I’m trying to install Nvidia driver 418.113 onto my Dell Precision M6800. I do run Linux Mint 21.2 with Kernel Version 5.15. The only version of the driver from the driver manager is 390.157. Nvidia has verion 418-113 listed at the most recent driver. So I’ve been trying to get it installed via terminal and keep hitting on a couple of errors. Seems to run into problems when building under DKMS.

→ Detected 8 CPUs online; setting concurrency level to 8.
→ Installing NVIDIA driver version 418.113.
→ There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 418.113). As part of installing this driver (version: 418.113), the existing driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? (Answer: Continue installation)
→ 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.
(Answer: Continue installation)
→ Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later. (Answer: Yes)
→ Install NVIDIA’s 32-bit compatibility libraries? (Answer: Yes)
→ Will install GLVND GLX client libraries.
→ Will install GLVND EGL client libraries.
