Maybe for you'd changed repos etc. This is in fact a Franken-MX .. That's why I'd suggested to first try Nvidia on 18.3 easily...

[dimi]

Ok @Huckleberry Finn

18.3. How do I proceed?

[Huckleberry Finn]

If you like, while on chroot:

Code: Select all

mx-repo-manager

And reset to defaults, then try again...

[dimi]

@Huckleberry Finn I checked to reset, but I find no option. MX and Debian repos have the option of selecting the fastest and individual apt sources have the restore option, which gives me "could not download original APT files". The other previous options are also not working.
