  • Close the Update Manager. Open a terminal and start sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get install-f. If there are error messages, add them into your question. If not, start sudo apt-get install nvidia-346. – A.B. Oct 20 '15 at 12:58

    This takes unusually long, since it will compile the graphics drivers from source. If you have a slow machine, it will take a while, yes. – slhck Jul 17 '17 at 15:11

Close the Update Manager. Open a terminal and start

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

to repair the interrupted installation. Install the driver via

sudo apt-get install nvidia-346

  • Why is it asking me for a disc?? What am I supposed to do now? – m4l490n Sep 11 '16 at 02:25
  • if it's asking for a disk comment the line having cdrom in the /etc/apt/sources.list file and make an "apt update" - then repeat the steps above – Aydin K. Feb 08 '18 at 16:20
