Driver Uninstallation

$ nvidia-uninstall

Driver Troubleshooting

1. Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 390.77NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.77.run: line 998: /tmp/makeself.XXX/xz: No such file or directory\nExtraction failed.

   $ apk add xz  # Alpine Linux
   

2. bash: ./nvidia-installer: No such file or directory

   Install the glibc compatibility layer package for Alpine Linux.

3. ERROR: You do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system. Please install your distribution's libc development package.

   $ apk add musl-dev  # Alpine Linux
   

4. ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured

   $ apk add linux-vanilla-dev  # Alpine Linux
   

5. ERROR: Failed to execute `/sbin/ldconfig`: The installer has encountered the following error during installation: 'Failed to execute `/sbin/ldconfig`'. Would you like to continue installation anyway?

   Continue installation.
