issues with DKMS while installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu 16.04
I am new to the linux ecosystem. I am unable to install nvidia drivers. I tried installing version 415. But I am not able to understand the error due to lack of knowledge. I have tried the following commands.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-396
I got the following error( sorry I can only post pictures.)
error screenshot
I am also not able to login into my account and coming back to the login screen after putting the login credentials. I would appreciate your advice on this. Thank you.

Did you try to remove thenvidia-driver-396ornvidia-396first before installing thenvidia-driver-415? I think you have to remove the old driver first since the system will try to upgrade instead of remove and install the new driver.

nvidia-396is the incorrect name for the install from the PPA. It isnvidia-driver-396for the install. You will probably now need to do the install from launching a TTY to run the install by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 to Ctr+Alt+F6. After the installation type in reboot so that the new driver can take effect.
