Unable to install recommended nvidia-driver-390 in19.10

  • 772

I'm having problems logging in to 19.10, and following some suggestions (e.g. ubuntu-18-04-stuck-in-login-loop-with-missing-xauthority-file), ubuntu-drivers devices shows nvidia-driver-390 as recommended driver

When I sudo apt install_nvidia-driver-390 it fails enter image description here

And trying sudo apt --fix-broken_install fails enter image description here

How can I get this sorted? Thanks.

  1. Looks like this is a bug with Ubuntu. package libnvidia-gl-390 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: new libnvidia-gl-390:amd64 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 (NOT FIXED)

    The workaround I did was #5, Yuri's improvement of Alexandre's suggestion

    Try

    # for FILE in $(dpkg-divert --list | grep nvidia-340 | awk '{print $3}'); do echo $FILE; done

    first and choose the correct number for substring {print $3}

    For example for Russian locale it will be $2:

    # for FILE in $(dpkg-divert --list | grep nvidia-340 | awk '{print $2}'); do dpkg-divert --remove $FILE; done
