Cannot install nvidia driver on brand new ubuntu installation












0















There's some problem with the nvidia drivers packages. After knocking my head against the wall with this, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.2, installed updates, and ran:



   > sudo apt update
> sudo apt upgrade
> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
> sudo apt update
> sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:40/0000:40:03.1/0000:43:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd0000128Bsv0000196Esd0000118Bbc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GK208B [GeForce GT 710]
driver : nvidia-driver-410 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-415 - third-party free recommended
driver : nvidia-driver-396 - third-party free
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

> sudo apt install nvidia-driver-415


And I get a broken packages problem, like so:



   Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
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 resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-driver-415 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-415 (= 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nvidia-dkms-415 (= 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnvidia-ifr1-415 (= 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.2) but it is not going to be installed

It doesn't matter which driver I choose, there's always some conflict like above.
