I have tried installing drivers for my GeForce 840M graphics card.
I tried running:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
. It worked until I got this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnvidia-ifr1-430 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-430 but it is not installed
libnvidia-ifr1-430:i386 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-430:i386 but it is not installed
nvidia-driver-430 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-430 (= 430.09-0ubuntu0~gpu19.04.1) but it is not installed
Recommends: nvidia-settings but it is not installed
Recommends: nvidia-prime (>= 0.8) but it is not installed
Recommends: libnvidia-gl-430:i386 (= 430.09-0ubuntu0~gpu19.04.1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I tried running
sudo apt --fix-broken install
and got this error:

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

It looks like I am stuck in this loop…
