Hello,

Before the current ubuntu upgrade, i used a proprietary driver, but now, the command "ubuntu-drivers devices" return an empty result. I'm tempted tu use the ppa, but i fear it could break my system.

OS: ubuntu 25.04 Nvidia GTX 1050Ti

Then i looked into the log and i saw many errors message, and after some research, i found it was because the driver is not compatible with my actual kernel.

TLDR: it was a bad idea.

i don't know french but try sudo dpkg --configure -a

or purging the packages altogether before trying again.
