apt-get keeps wanting to download a package, overriding my decision

  • 772

I've recently had a problem with the graphics on my laptop. I am currently trying a working nvidia driver, as my computer had problems with the previous one. When I try to issue any install command for any nvidia driver, apt get overrides my decision and installs a custom nvidia driver version (nvidia-340 to be precise). How can I deselect that package from command line?

14.04

  1. nvidia-330 (actually, all nvidia-3XX packages from nvidia-310 onwards) are transitional packages that actually install nvidia-340. If you want an older driver, use nvidia-304 instead.
