Nvidia driver not loading correctly [closed]
I'm trying to get the Nvidia card on my laptop to work (GTX 1050 Ti) to no avail. I installed the relevant driver via
sudo apt-get install nvidia-410
which installed fine but when i run nvidia-settings i get
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
i.e. the system isn't loading the driver correctly. The relevant output however after i run lspci is
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04)
02:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c8c (rev a1)
running nvidia-smi also doesn't work with
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running
being the ouput. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I'm running Linux Mint for clarity)

Try install nvidia-dkms-410 or reinstall it if it's already in your computer.
Then check configuration files in directory /etc/modprobe.d and /lib/modprobe.d to make sure nvidia driver is not in blacklist.
Also, check whether nvidia driver is properly installed:
uname -r
# output
4.15.0-43-generic
cd /lib/modules
find ./ -name "nvidia*"
# output
./4.15.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
./4.15.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-modeset.ko
./4.15.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-drm.ko
./4.15.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-uvm.ko
./4.15.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia
./4.15.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia
./4.15.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
Now try sudo modprobe nvidia. if there's no error, you can type nvidia-smi to see gpu info.
