Thank you Nuno for reporting the trouble you observed. I'm the one who posted this very bug report where you added your comment.
I can understand your frustration. I'm frustrated too. I'm using open- source nouveau driver instead and it has problems, too cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1547077 , and on top of that all these are regressions from older Ubuntu releases. In any case, in any open-source and unpaid context, please refrain from using several question marks or writing some words in all capital letters, as its main effect is to turn people away. Thank you for your attention. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-361 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556960 Title: Cannot install nvidia driver using software-properties-gtk. package nvidia-361 361.28-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-361 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In trying a workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1547077 tried once again to install nVidia proprietary driver using software-properties- gtk.
