nVidia 450.57 driver not installing

I’m having a similar issue, where if I go to the hardware settings and try to install it from there all I get is this, which I cannot interact with to proceed.

If I try to sudo “mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300” or “mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime” I get the same prompt, which I can interact with but does basically nothing, just gives me the “it’s done” look

~ >>> sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

but in the hardware settings it still shows as using the nvidia-440xx drivers.

It’s probably a noob error, but hey, I’m a noob :sweat_smile:
