Perhaps even more problematic is that the .430 driver does not have support for the new T4 cards, whereas .418 does.
I am not an expert on Nvidia drivers, but it is very surprising to me that the older version of the driver has support for a new piece of hardware where the new driver does not, but either way, it would be very useful to be able to install actual .418 driver on Ubuntu 18.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-430 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838878 Title: Branch 430 does not support K1100M Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 package in Ubuntu: New Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-430 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Branch 430 does not support K1100M, yet it is proposed as an update to branch 418 users with an nVidia K1100M GPU.
