Can't install nvidia driver 340 ( GT 230M )












1















I am trying to install nvidia drivers on my laptop which has GT 230 M GPU.



My laptop is running Ubuntu 18.04



It sounds that there is conflict between nvidia driver and some other package installed



I am getting this error



Preparing to unpack .../nvidia-340_340.107-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb ...

I have also tried this command and it did not work
