OP isn't able to upgrade his 18.04. Was this because he upgraded from 16.04 or was this a fresh installation?

It's a fresh 18.04 install. No previous distros. Have been doing update/upgrade several times. Had no problem. This one time I got stuck.

Code:

$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep 'Filesystem created:'

Tried unsuccessfully to uninstall Nvidia and revert to nouveau.

1. From 'Software & Updates' -> 'Additional Drivers', tried to check 'X.Org X Server - Nouveau' and pressed 'Apply Changes'. Nothing happens. After some seconds it checks back to Nvidia (340) option.

2. From the terminal, issued command

Code:

$ ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000640sv000010DEsd0000077Fbc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : G96 [GeForce 9500 GT]
driver   : nvidia-304 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-340 - third-party free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

$ sudo apt remove nvidia-340

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is already the newest version (1:1.0.15-2).

3. Tried same as above in multi-user.target also. Same error.

It just won't remove Nvidia drivers, no matter what.

Exact same error here on Linux Mint 19 xfce, nvidia-340. It seems a really recent bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...d/+bug/1793610).
Deleting libGLESv1_CM.so (the file the seems to cause the conflict) and trying to upgrade is not a good idea, right?

Edit: Yesterday i has able to upgrade every package besides libglvnd-dev, today I cannot install other packages, for instance:

Code:

:~$ sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw

also

Code:

apt install --fix-broken

doesn't work.

Same behaviour here. Only happened today...

ddenial · 09-22-2018, 03:45 AM

Finally fixed the problem. Phew!

From: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1037...p-to-uninstall

Code:

sudo dpkg -P nvidia-340
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt remove nvidia-340

Solved it.

Thanks, everybody.
