Comment 2 for bug 1960621

ian@pc:~$ dpkg -l nvidia-driver
dpkg-query: no packages found matching nvidia-driver

:)

If I look for anything starting with that, it's

ian@pc:~$ dpkg -l nvidia-driver*

Looking for everything nvidia...

(Obviously, I'm using the 470 drivers at the moment, because THEY WORK. I'll install the 510 ones via 'Software & Updates', reboot, see what happens, undo that, and come back. Is it worth saying again that the same thing happened with the 495 ones last month?)
