What Linux kernel(s) are supported?
Hello I found that the Linux 5.4.10 kernel fails to install with the 435 nvidia driver on Ubuntu 19.10.
1. What is the latest kernel that will work with nvidia-driver-435?
2. What is the latest kernel that will work with nvidia-driver-430?
Is there a place for the nvidia drivers to identify compatible kernel versions?
Install session below.
