Broken NVIDIA driver packages after updating 24.04.3

Support & Help Requests

1

Hi, I am not sure this is the good place to ask for help. Anyway I’ll try !

Just after a large update of my system Ubuntu Linux 24.04.3 I (two screens) had to reboot my PC and then only one screen is available. I reloaded the NVIDIA driver and I got a lot of error. Than running fix-broken I got the following message (see below).

I reloaded my previous backup and the two screens were OK. Thank you for your help

FYI


SI… vous avez besoin d'aide pour faire fonctionner les graphiques dans un environnement à double usage, c'est-à-dire à la fois

  • des graphiques « natifs »,         et
  • des graphiques « virtualisés » pour contenir des exécutables « à risque »,

je n'en sais pas assez pour vous aider.


Juste pour confirmer vos besoins et environnement ...

Votre ordi est-il pour besoins personnels, ou est-ce un serveur pour plusieurs environnements client virtuels?

Si pour personnel seulement, toute instance de paquet "server" devrait être remplacé par son paquet équivalent non "server".

IF ... you need help with trying to get the graphics working for a "dual-purpose" environment, meaning both

  • "native" graphics,         and
  • "virtualized" for containing "risk-potential" executables,

I don't know enough to help.


Just to confirm your needs and environment ..

Is your computer used for personal needs, or is it a server for multiple virtually-hosted environments?

If only for personal, you should replace every instance of a "server" package by the corresponding "non-server" package.

Thank you for your help.

I reloaded an old backup and now it is running properly.

Is there a way to prevent from installing NVIDIA drivers ?

and how I can check what driver am I using ?

Regards

I would check which drivers have been marked as manually installed, i.e. ones that we've opted in to use (i.e. aren't part of the default Ubuntu MATE installation):

apt-mark showmanual | grep nvidia

I believe that most users running an NVIDIA card with the proprietary driver will see something like:

nvidia-driver-580

We can also look at the installed drivers

apt list --installed *nvidia*

On my machine, because I'm running the 550 drivers and holding them back; I see:

I would also check to see if we've manually added anything CUDA-related:

apt-mark showmanual | grep cuda

And also I'd have a look at what has been installed automatically (if anything)

apt list --installed *cuda*

I don't know how specifically, but you can mark all the nvidia-related packages as frozen, to avoid any updates of those specific packages.

The apt-mark command, which Stephen mentionned, is the tool whose purpose is to provide that level of control over package updates.

If you want to see all the installed packages by NVIDIA, use the command I supplied:

apt list --installed *nvidia*

The 470 series of driver is rather old now.

The output of inxi -Gz will show you which card you have, from which you can find the recommend driver series from NVIDIA here: Download The Latest Official NVIDIA Drivers

Should I type the stars ?

Yes - although it can fail if you type it into a directory with a file that matches that pattern.

As I said, the command will fail if you run it within a folder that has a file that matches the pattern.

Try:

Groovy!

If you wanted to upgrade the driver, both the 570 and 580 series of driver can be used with an GeForce GT 1030. However, if you are not experiencing any issues with the 470 driver; then it may not be worth the trouble to upgrade.

OK Thank you for your time to help me.

I am OK with this backup. How I can prevent my system from automatic update of the NVIDIA driver ?

I do not want to get in trouble again

This is probably enough:

sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-driver-470 libnvidia-common-470

You could check this by running:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade --dry-run

If the output of this indicates that some NVIDIA packages will be updated, then you might want to put a "hold" on them, too.

Otherwise, you could mark all of them hold with something like this:

cd /home
apt list --installed *nvidia* 2>/dev/null | sed -n -E 's/^([^\/]+)\/.*/\1/p' | sudo xargs apt-mark hold

It looks like you haven't held the packages correctly? What is the output of:
