👾 Error

...

🤔 Why do I see this error ?

Legacy GPUs only supported by legacy nVidia drivers. DKMS may not be compiled for the newest Linux kernels.

🔎 How to solve ?

At this point apt cannot finish configuring nvidia-driver-* and nvidia-dkms-*. Solution is to patch the driver as explained here.

🕊️ Solution

sudo apt install wget patch
cd ~
mkdir nvidia-patch
cd nvidia-patch
wget -O inttf-nvidia-patcher.sh https://nvidia.if-not-true-then-false.com/patcher/inttf-nvidia-patcher.sh
chmod +x inttf-nvidia-patcher.sh
./inttf-nvidia-patcher.sh -v 390.157
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-patched-kernel-6.5.run
