Bug description:
[Impact]

nova driver conflicts with the nvidia proprietary driver, and a 6.17
stable update in proposed enables nova_core module, which finally
makes nova usable resulting in it taking over.

Nova and nova_core need to be blacklisted in the nvidia driver(s) just
like nouveau.

[Test case]

Install the updated nvidia driver, reboot the machine. Nvidia should
be used and working.

[Where problems could happen]

we should have covered all the drivers, but if for instance the
blacklist file does not get updated for whatever the reason, then the
update has no effect

I installed the latest Nvidia driver in Resolute:

  ubuntu-drivers list
  sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-driver-590-open
  sudo reboot

but the system now boots to a frozen black screen.

An SSH login reveals the wrong kernel driver in use:

$ lspci -k -d::300
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107 [GeForce RTX 3050 6GB] (rev a1)
 Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device 4131
 Kernel driver in use: NovaCore
 Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nova_core, nvidia_drm, nvidia
