I have searched the whole internet including reading everything on google/askubuntu/all ubuntu communities), tried all the possible solution and still didn't figure it out (but I am not google so my indexing and searching algorithm skills might not be that good)
anyways to the point. I am trying to run apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade.
I get the following error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnvidia-ifr1-390 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-390 but it is not installed
libnvidia-ifr1-390:i386 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-390:i386 but it is not installed
nvidia-driver-390 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-390 (= 390.87-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1) but it is not installed
Recommends: libnvidia-gl-390:i386 (= 390.87-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
then i ran apt --fix-broken install .. and got these results
