Problem deleting Nvidia driver

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

I use Ubuntu 18.04 and try to remove nvidia driver to reinstall it later.<

sudo apt remove nvidia*

It starts to download something (what?). After that it gives hash mismatch errors:

Err:1 https: //developer.download.nvidia. com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64 cuda-cudart-11-4 11.4.148-1

--fix-missing doesn’t work.

Please disable the cuda repo.

Thank you, it worked but not quite. I have remove cuda and nvidia drivers after that successfully but I cannot install nvidia drivers with a similar error:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525

After this operation, 1 285 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Maybe I got something wrong with disabling cuda repo?

The cuda repo still seems to be enabled. Please check in Software&Updates.

I’m stupid, --fix-missing should be done with sudo apt install :) Now that was installed but with a cuda error in the end:

nvidia-smi

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

I found cuda repo in /etc/apt/sources.list and disabled it, but it still was not enough. In Software&Updates I found nothing, alas.
