This occurs in 18.04 because versions 340 and 390 are attempted to be installed at the same time and they apparently both want to modify /lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules
apt-get install -f was not able to fix the situation. Workaround: remove all packages mentioning nvidia 340 and 390 (beware you may want to check what this does): # show the packages we're about to remove dpkg-query -W | egrep 'nvidia.*3[49]0' | perl -naE 'say $F[0]' # remove them dpkg-query -W | egrep 'nvidia.*3[49]0' | perl -naE 'say $F[0]' | sudo xargs dpkg -P Now install *ONLY* the version 340 one. And then both apt and subsequently the nvidia driver worked for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767116 Title: package nvidia-340 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules', which is also in package nvidia-kernel-common-390 390.48-0ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1767116/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
