I have been trying to install cuda, and I cannot for the life of me figure this out :(. This is the error that i keep running into, and I can't think of any packages that would be broken on this machine. It's a fresh install of Ubuntu Server (uname -a Linux marte 4.18.0-11-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 23 19:22:37 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux running Cosmic)

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cuda : Depends: cuda-10-0 (>= 10.0.130) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Some other possibly useful information?

Edit: Going down the rabbit whole to try and install unmet dependencies manually, I have come to the following wall
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

xorg-video-abi-13 but it is not installable or

Recommends: nvidia-settings (>= 331.20) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: nvidia-prime (>= 0.5) but it is not going to be installed or
bumblebee but it is not going to be installed
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Edit: I have finally found a solution! I finally found that the package that provides xorg-vide-abi-* was xserver-xorg-core(2:1.19.6-ubuntu4.2) but the held package was xserver-xorg-core(2:1.20*) and no longer provided the xerver-xorg-core package necessary :(
My new question: Is there anyway I can add xserver-xorg-core to a list that is ignored by apt-get upgrade?
Edit: Ignore that last question I found the answer with a quick 10 second google DuckDuckGo search! :facepalm:

In apt-speak, dependency problems are what 'broken' actually means. Look for wrong-version sources that cause the impossible situation. For example, the error message is saying that the non-Ubuntu-packagecuda-10-0cannot be installed due to dependency problems.

Server does not even have X, so while I have seen the cuda executables run the non-graphical samples under Wayland, how are you planning on running cuda?

Nov 30 at 23:35
I swear one day i'll learn how to post @ubfan1 This was another thought I had, so I tried installing X. Are your thoughts that I should scrap it (It really is just a fresh install with X, and zsh installed) and install ubuntu desktop?
– j-money
Nov 30 at 23:38
Might as well, if you need to install X on a server, desktop is probably the way to go. Get the Nvidia drivers set up from the ubuntu repos, and then do the CUDA deb from Nvidia. Not sure what cuda you'd need from the ubuntu repos after that, maybe nothing.
