I have recently changed my Nvidia GPU, and I am having problems to boot Ubuntu. I get a blank screen after GRUB.

When I boot in recovery mode (it works) and type the command nvidia-detector, I get:

nvidia-driver-440

And when I type nvidia-smi, I get:

I followed [1], [2], and [3] to completely uninstall the drivers and then install it again.

My question is: Does anyone know why Ubuntu is showing two different driver versions, and how can I solve it?

I am new to Ubuntu. I was trying to connect my Google Drive account with Ubuntu and saw this related answer. When I try to synchronize gnome with the google account it asks for access to basically everything on my google account.

I saw this related post on Reddit, but I am still concerned.

My questions are: is it secure to give gnome access (read, edit, create, delete) to all my files, emails, calendar, photos, etc? Should I trust gnome?
