After I did a series of commands to install Nvidia driver and nvidia-cuda-toolkit things, it started to log stdout errors whenever I try apt install.
I don't remember what exactly commands I've ran, but I think at least I did the following for instance:
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
sudo apt install nvidia-340
Here is an example output that I get when I do a apt install:
$ sudo apt install cowsay -y

cowsay is already the newest version (3.03+dfsg2-7).

A modprobe blacklist file has been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau
from loading. This can be reverted by deleting the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
A new initrd image has also been created. To revert, please regenerate your
initrd by running the following command after deleting the modprobe.d file:
/usr/sbin/initramfs -u

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The apt install itself is working, so for example the above installs cowsay successfully, but simply the long error output is just disturbing and since it always ends the command with an error code I cannot tell if the command is succeeded by echo $?.
Ubuntu version (added):
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
How can I fix this and get rid of the error messages?
