Happy to help with this ....Ubuntu 22.04 Server doesn't include a GUI or many default drivers out of the box, so driver installs can fail silently or conflict depending on how the VM is configured.
Quick question: what type of driver are you trying to install (GPU, network, etc.), and are you getting a specific error message or does it just seem like nothing happens?

That error means the driver installed but the kernel module isn't loading ... classic issue on Azure VMs running Ubuntu 22.04 Server. The root cause is usually one of two things: the VM doesn't have a GPU passthrough-enabled size (like NC or ND series), so there's no physical GPU for the driver to bind to, or Secure Boot is interfering with the kernel module signing.
Feel free to DM me ... I work with Azure GPU VM setups regularly and can walk you through a fix or just sort it out for you.
