Title:
  The automatic software update of 9/11/25 disabled my Nvidia RTX 5060Ti

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-580 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I was running the nvidia-575-open driver. Whatever driver I was upgraded to did not work. 
  I tried to manually update to the nvidia-580-open driver, but there was a dependency failure. 
  I tried to manually update to the nvidia-580 driver, It seemed to work, but I got a black screen after the required reboot.
  I switched from my graphics card HDMI port to my motherboard's HDMI port and reboot worked using my processor's integrated GPU.
  From this point onward, I have been using the integrated GPU.
  I also tried to update from the seemingly successful nvidia-580 driver back to the nvidia-580-open driver and the failure pop-up window complained about not replacing nvidia-frirmare-580.

  I am not given a choice to revert back to the nvidia-575-open drive.
  The only other choice was to try the nvidia-570 drivers. They didn't
  work either, but that was not surprising because at least a 575 level
  driver is needed to support the graphics card.

  I also tried to download and install a newer nvidia-580-open driver
  from Nvidia's web site. It said that the driver built correctly, but
  my EFCI Secure BIOS prevented it from being loaded.

  So at this point I am unable to proceed with my Isaac ROS robotics
  project because it requires the Nvidia GPU.

  My most recent attempt of installing the nvidia-580-open driver resulted in the message...
  pk-client-error-quark: Error while installing package: installed nvidia-dkms-580-open package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 6(313).
