nvidia-340 is a very old version of nvidia.<br>
<br>
20.04 LTS has: nvidia-driver-390, nvidia-driver-435, nvidia-driver-440.<br>
<br>
Can you please use Super to search and launch &quot;additional drivers&quot;<br>
select 440 driver and install and try that one? It is the recommended<br>
version of nvidia on 20.04 LTS. Or whichever is highest and supports<br>
your nvidia card.<br>
