How to handle broken packages related to different versions of nvidia driver

Question

That's the error I got when Im trying to install nvidia driver As shown in the picture I have held broken packages. ''' sudo apt autoremove''' didnt help. broken packages are related to different versions of nvidia driver

Remove the previous NVIDIA driver first. Make sure to run sudo apt autoremove after removing the driver. — Terrance, Apr 08 '20 at 16:21

First we need to do this:

'''sudo dpkg -P $(dpkg -l | grep nvidia-driver | awk '{print $2}')'''

then

'''sudo apt autormove'''
