Is there a good way to roll back the nvidia driver to an older version? I need 470 for my vr headset, as newer versions seem to disable video output to the headset. I have tried some logical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver and also some more radical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge “^nvidia-*” but that somehow left all my drivers intact, and I am still on the newest version 525.147.05. Does someone know on how step back?

    I actually got it to work. I ran these commands: sudo apt remove --purge nvidia sudo reboot #(Reboots the system) sudo apt install nvidia-tesla-470-driver sudo reboot #(Reboots the system)

    And BAM! I got the right driver for the job! Version 470 obtained!
