Greetings and Salutations Garuda Friends,
I have happily been using Garuda for 9 months now. Thank you! I am having an issue with the nvidia driver being installed, but not it's not loading or functioning. I think perhaps the kernel module did not get built, and then installed by dkms. Here is my garuda-inxi:

Some System Configuration info:
I verified that "Secure Boot" is disabled in the BIOS.
There were a number of reboots of my laptop involved here.
I did a brand new installation of Garuda using the latest .iso, and then fully updated with 'garuda-update'. Reboot.
I then installed the linux-lts kernel and headers, which is the kernel I would like to use at this time. Reboot.
Then, I went to 'Garuda Settings Manager' --> 'Hardware Configuration', right-clicked on 'video-nvidia-prime-render-offload' and chose 'Install'. Reboot.
After having installed the Nvidia Driver and then discovering that it was not functioning, I went back to the 'Garuda Settings Manager' --> 'Hardware Configuration', right-clicked on 'video-nvidia-prime-render-offload' and chose 'Reinstall'. Reboot. But there was no change, the issue still persists.
Here are some commands and results for you to examine:
'nvidia-settings'
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
'nvidia-smi'
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Regarding that last command, it shows as "nvidia/515.65.01: added". I was wondering if it should also show as "built/installed"?
I sure appreciate anyone taking the time to have a look at this issue. Thank you.
P.S. I have enjoyed Garuda so much that I have happily given a few donations since I started using it. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
