Bug Description

Snapd contains special code for sharing nvidia binary userspace libraries from the host to the snap runtime environment. This code is very old and somewhat fragile, and has not been maintained recently. It was noticed that for people updating from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04, the corresponding update of the userspace driver to version 535 or 550 causes a regression due to the architectual changes of the driver.
