I’m trying to install the Nvidia-linux-x86_64-418.43.run driver for the NVIDIA Qdr RTX 4000 8GB on an Ubuntu 18.04.
After running the [sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-418.43.run
] command I’ve encountered an error message of
" The distribution-provided pre-install script failed! Are you sure you want to continue?"
I’ve selected “Continue installation”.
Then, the a message appears:
" Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later."
I’ve selected “yes”
Then, a message appears:
“An incomplete installation of libglvnd was found. All of the essential libglvnd libraries are present, but one or more optional components are missing. Do you want to install a full copy of libglvnd? This will overwrite any existing libglvnd libraries.”
I’ve selected “install”
Then, a message appear:
" Failed to run /usr/sbin/dkms build -m nvidia -v 418.43 -k 5.4.0-47-generic:Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping…

I’ve pressed “ok”
Then, a message appears:
“ERROR: Failed to install the kernel module through DKMS. No kernel module
was installed; please try installing again without DKMS, or check the
DKMS logs for more information.”
Driver failed to be installed.
What should I do?
