I recently upgraded to Mint 19 with a clean install. Since then, I have been unable to load the gimp-plugin-registry via Synaptic. This appears to be linked to another problem, which is that I cannot switch from the X.Org X server - Nouveau display driver to the recommended Nvidia driver 390.
When I try to install the GIMP Plugin Registry via Synaptic, the first error message I get says that I have two broken packages on my system. When I use the 'Fix Broken Packages' option from the menu, nothing happens. Clicking on the 'Broken' option in the filters shows two packages: libnvidia-ifr1-390 and nvidia-driver-390. These are both shown with red flags against them. Attempts to reinstall these results in the following error:
'E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libnvidia-gl-390_390.48-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb: new libnvidia-gl-390:amd64 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2'
I also sometimes get another error:
'E: Internal Error, No file name for libnvidia-ifr1-390:amd64'
When I checked the Drivers, the system shows that the nvidia-driver-390 is in use, but this is not the case. Running inxi -G in the terminal produces the following:
$ inxi -G
Graphics: Card: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti]
Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 )
drivers: nouveau (unloaded: modesetting,fbdev,vesa)
Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz
OpenGL: renderer: NV117 version: 4.3 Mesa 18.0.5
I had neither of these issues when running Mint 18, so this appears to be something inherent in the 19 release.
Any thoughts about how to resolve the two faults would be appreciated.
