[ubuntu 22.04 Geforce 4060Ti]NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is

im here to ask some questions about installing NVIDIA Drivers for NVIDIA Geforce 4060ti(ID:2803, Driver version:535) on Ubuntu22.04 system(uname -r geives 6.5.0-28-generic,and on the same desktop i installed a Window 10), for which i use the command below in the Terminals:

# shut down the secure boot in Biossudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'sudo apt-get remove --purge '^libnvidia-.*'sudo apt-get remove --purge '^cuda-.*'

as recommended, while recommened command:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-6.5.0-28-generic 

fails with :

Package linux-headers-6.5.0-28-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another sourceE: Package 'linux-headers-6.5.0-28-generic' has no installation candidate

then i install with:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535

and then reboot just to find that nvidia-smi still repoonses with:

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

to debug i tried:dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia, which gives me:

notice that while my system is ubuntu22.04, these versions are basically base on ubuntu20.04!

I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE MAIN ISSUE WHILE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT :(

and i tried inxi -Fxxxrz, it gives me:

and my gcc version is 12.0.1, other then 12.3.0 from which the DRIVER is COMPILED.

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME OUT? IF ANY EXTRA INFO NEEDED I WOULD RESONSE ASAP.

I LITERALLY SPEND A WHOLE DAY ON INSTALLING THIS.THX IN ADVANCE AND SORRY FOR MY AMATEUR QUESTION AND POOR ENGLISH.

EDIT 1: Thanks to @mikewhatever 's solution, the dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia's reply is now with correct ubuntu0.22.04.1 suffix as below:

then after sudo apt-get install linux-headers-6.5.0-28-generic and reboot, my problem solved! Many thanks to @mikewhatever !
