I feel your pain. I used to do this too. But at some point, I started using the restricted driver that comes with Kubuntu and now when the kernel is updated, the NVIDIA driver gets updated automagically as well. At least, I think that's what's happening as I haven't had this problem in quite awhile.
I thought the idea of the Restricted Driver Manager was to avoid having to re-install the driver module on each new kernel.
But, the RDM (or jockey-kde) has never worked very well on my hardware -- I don't know why. So, I always install EnvyNG, and then whenever a new kernel breaks my Nvidia driver, and boots me to the CLI, I just run
If you install the downloaded driver from Nvidia, then you are installing the driver module on the kernel that is running. That's the only installation of the driver. So, when you upgrade to a new kernel, guess what? No driver is installed on it. So you have to repeat the process.
