everything greyed out


Edit: This is a lower grade GPU than GeForce GTX so I had to go with an older Nvidia driver. See my answer for the answer but the question shows some problems along the way.


Everything else is greyed out except Continue using manually installed driver's radio button is selected.


Steps I took:


Followed the download from Nvidia way from here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-22-04


Disabled
/blacklisted Nouveau as shown here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-blacklist-nouveau-nvidia-driver-on-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish-linux


Then followed this on how to get Nvidia in a Secure Boot device as shown here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-blacklist-nouveau-nvidia-driver-on-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish-linux
(use Google Translate)


What I want on my Lenovo Ideapad 3 Gaming 15ACH6 is to be able use Cuda and Cudnn. I can use Cuda in Windows (dual boot) but prefer working in Ubuntu.


I followed many tutorials so am completely lost on what steps to take at this point.


Edit:


I did sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf to comment out the blacklist lines and rebooted so now Ubuntu is detecting both monitors but nouveau is still greyed out in additional drivers in software and updates.


I wanted to go back to nouveau then purge nvidia and then try to choose one of the nvidia drivers listed in additional drivers, ie. purge the nvidia driver I downloaded and installed called NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.60.11.run

I followed @ubfan's advice but got stuck on a sudo apt update that said something about missing an Nvidia release file so I purged Nvidia again, checked ubuntu-drivers devices because I noticed my GPU is not GeForce GTX 1650 as advertised when I bought it but

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)


It's a lower grade GPU for thinner notebooks so I decided to go with the oldest driver and followed this: https://itslinuxfoss.com/fix-failed-initialize-nvml-driver-library-version-mismatch-error/


because I was getting a mismatch error.


Now I have
