When attempting to update through pop_shop from 470, 510.60.02 throws up a dependence error for the previous 510 driver iteration, and provides no way through pop-shop to do the intermediary update.

@XV-02 can you provide a screenshot?

Text from the error: ErrorOutput.txt

It does install via apt, after purging other nvidia drivers, I should note, though it will not install in parallel with 470.

@XV-02 Which Pop version are you running?

Which Pop version are you running?

I'm using 20.04. I suspect that the issue would persist regardless. Currently the 20.04 iso ships with 470.

[XV-02]

Steam will not correctly launch with this driver update in 20.04.

It will install, and it can launch in Nvidia, Integrated, and Hybrid modes with 470. With 510.60, it can launch only in modes where the integrated graphics are available. Installing Steam with 470 installed, and then upgrading to 510.60 didn't work either.

@XV-02 I hope the latest changes fix those issues. If not, it may be worth it to just release this on 22.04

I pushed this to master_jammy to unblock https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/372. I need help diagnosing the 20.04 packaging issues (cc: @13r0ck) since I don't have an NVIDIA system I can wipe with 20.04 right now.

I'll do a fresh install of 20.04 right now, and try it again.

[n3m0-22]

The problem is still there in 20.04.

1. clean install of 20.04
2. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
3. reboot
4. ./pop/scripts/apt add nvidia-510.60.02
5. sudo apt update
6. nvidia 510 disappears from pop-shop
7. reboot
8. nvidia 510 still not showing in pop-shop
9. sudo apt update
10. nvidia 510 now shows in pop-shop
11. click install and the following error shows

Try adding each of those packages listed as missing Depends one by one to the apt install line and see if you get a more sensible error

[n3m0-22]

After installing the first one sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-510 it completely removes 470 and does a full install of 510.

[n3m0-22]

I tried the following

1. sudo apt purge nvidia-*
2. sudo apt autoremove
3. reboot
4. sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470
5. reboot
6. 510 does not show up in pop-shop
7. upgrading from the terminal with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-510 no longer shows issues

[n3m0-22]

Correction : After running sudo apt update 510 is back in pop-shop and installs with no problems

Obsolete, see #147
