package nvidia-kernel-common-470 470.86-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed nvidia-kernel-common-470 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127

[Vanshaj Kaushal]

The nvidia driver application displays nothing when started, just two options help and quit;
I expected the three options:
i) Continue using nvidia card normally,
ii) use nvidia card only when required,
iii) disable nvidia card(power saving mode).

Please resolve the issue, my laptop battery drains very fast.
