Hello, I was experiencing something similar. I'd like to request some data from you; seems we might have duplicate bugs, so I'm trying to narrowing if they all are reporting the same failures, and I have a potential fix for it.
Please, try to rebuild the packages by running (as root): "/usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start <your_kernel_version>" For example: "/usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start 4.15.0-21-generic" After that, collect the build log and attach it here. It's present usually at: "/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-340/<your_nvidia_pkg_version>/build/make.log" Thanks, Guilherme -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771413 Title: package nvidia-340 340.106-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: new nvidia-340 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I was doing daily updates when the error came up.
