(use the purge_nvidia or remove_tool to clear prior to install). `sudo bash driver-name-here.run` then walk through the installer to agree to config setup. Should resolve. I'll be working on updating my scripts to detect this problem + auto-resolve it, and/or provide an alternative direct pull option since ubuntu-drivers may be problematic for latest gen installs moving forward. + +Feel free to open an issue if you run into other problems.
