Ubuntu 20:04 Can't detect display and screen does not fill the display

Just installed 20:04, and 18:04 have not this problem.

The main problem is that the screen don't fill up the display. In the settings --> displays, it says it is a 'Unknown display. The display are a common HP S2231a.

I have a Nvidia gfx Geforce GT 520.

I tried install Nvidias X11-server config, but Ubuntu says there is missing dependencies but it get installed anyway, but does not work at all. Just white content.

In Software & Updates--> Additional drivers have 4 rows,

enter image description here

Number 4 is choosen, and the other 3 row are greyed out, and not possible to select them

I have no idea what manual installed drivers are, and I have not doing anything manual.

What can I do?

joni@HP2:~$ sudo dpkg -l nvidia
