cannot install nvidia-390 driver, ubuntu 18.04












0















I accidentally uninstalled my active kernel as well as my graphics drivers using this command from a StackExchange suggestion:



dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/(.*)-([^0-9]+)/1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* ([^ ]*).*/1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge


After reinstalling the kernel, I am working on the graphics drivers.



ubuntu-drivers devices returns:

I am not experienced with packaging and do not want to mess something else up again, so I did not run it.



A side question: does anyone know how I can be certain that my kernel is running properly? I.e. that if I restart my computer it will boot?



uname -r returns:

So I believe it is functioning. Is there anything else it would be smart to check?

nvidia-390 is part of the graphics-drivers PPA.



Run sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall to uninstall a manually installed driver, if you still got one.



Remove everything of your old NVIDIA driver (simulate first):



sudo apt remove --purge -s nvidia-*
sudo apt remove --purge -s libnvidia-*


If only nvidia packages are there to be removed, remove really:



sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-*
sudo apt remove --purge libnvidia-*


Run sudo apt update and ubuntu-drivers devices again.



If nvidia-390 is still recommended, add your output of sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall again.
