Solved! Finally! Struggle no longer... Here’s what worked: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1768050
This is what I did that worked for me.
Using Terminal:
Paste this for root and hit enter:
sudo su root
Paste this whole line to get rid of all your 390 problems (ignore the 340 below) hit enter and let run. You shouldn’t see any errors:
for FILE in $(dpkg-divert --list | grep nvidia-340 | awk '{print $3}'); do dpkg-divert --remove $FILE; done
Paste this to repair the broken packages, hit enter and let run:
apt --fix-broken install
Paste this to remove things not needed, hit enter and let run:
sudo apt autoremove
Paste this to repair the broken packages, hit enter and let run:
sudo apt-get -f install
Paste this because you might as well since we’re in here, hit enter and let run:
sudo apt-get update
Paste this to clean up any mess left behind and hit enter and let run:
sudo apt-get clean
Paste this to get out of spooky root.
sudo su user <-- `user’ is whatever your login name is
Reboot just to make sure.
Done!!! So happy. (:
I believe what I did was safe. Someone else might have a better way to do this - but this is the way I did it - worked for me - so I was ready to share it - horrible while it lasted - hope you’re successful too!
