nvidia gpu problem after upgrading to 22.04

[Paolo Benvenuto]

my Lenovo ThinkBook has a nvidia RTX 3060 video card. The gpu was working perfectly with ubuntu 22.04.

However, after upgrading to 24.04, clinfo reported 0 platforms.

I could solve the issue when I installed the linux headers. Actually, without them, the nvidia module weren't compiled.

I remember that in 22.04 I had the headers installed. Apparently, when upgrading the headers for the new kernel weren't installed.
