[14:56] <xubuntu89w> i need some help
[18:24] <willie> How do I update from 16.04.4 to 18.04? Neither Software Updater nor sudo apt dist-upgrade do anything
[18:25] <diogenes_> add -d to the end
[18:30] <willie> Same result with -d: dalebert@dalebert-L15WB:~$ sudo apt dist-upgrade -d Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. dalebert@dalebert-L15WB:~$ sudo apt dist-upgrade -d

[21:55] <xubuntu88d> Hello. I'm in Xubuntu. I have installed CUDA 9-0 and when reboot I got a black screen. I have entered in protected mode and I'm trying to get rif of nvidia driver. I cannot install noting because apt install stacks with this message: "You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies:  cuda-drivers : Depends: nvidia-396 (>= 396.26) but it is not going to be installed"
[21:57] <xubuntu88d> Someone have any suggestion? If I try to "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia" the same message appear
[22:03] <nomenon> try apt --fix-broken install
[22:08] <xubuntu88d> Thank for answering. I got this: "Unpacking nvidia-396 (396.26-0ubuntu1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-396_396.26-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):  trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules', which is also in package nvidia-kernel-common-390 390.67-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing:  /var/c
[22:09] <mrkramps> xubuntu88d, you have to force overwriting this file
[22:10] <mrkramps> sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-396_396.26-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[22:11] <mrkramps> followed by: sudo apt-get install -f
[22:12] <xubuntu88d> thank you. I will force the overwrite
[22:16] <xubuntu88d> mrkramps, I got some warning, but everthing went well with the overwriting.
[22:17] <mrkramps> xubuntu88d, good … package manager should be back working
[22:18] <xubuntu88d> Yes, yes, I just tried to install synaptic and it worked fine. I will reboot and hope I can enter the normal mode again. Thank you very much, mrkramps
[22:18] <mrkramps> you're welcome
[22:25] <xubuntu88d> mrkramps, I have entered normally to Xubuntu! With the commands you gave me, the packages manager was able this time to install drivers correclty. Thank again. It wasmy first time in this IRC, following the Xubuntu Help suggestion. Honesltly I was a bit frustated after one day of installations going fine. Thanks
[22:26] <mrkramps> no problem
