After installing Kubuntu 24.04, were you able to log in?
How did you install the nVidia driver?

I guess you have a GeForce GT 650M.

Hey thanks for the follow up. It was working pretty good actually but I reinstalled Kubuntu and tried again…. Well I did manage to install a newer driver but it crashed and I reinstalled it again … 😭 and now i just left it how it is and I am trying not to think because it makes me obsessed. And yes the video card is gt 650m . I tried every single suggestion I could find but nothing worked so I quit . If you or someone else can give some help/advice I am willing to try again. Thank you guys
