update-manager removes nvidia drivers

[SURENDRA SINGARAM]

The update-manager removes my nvidia drivers whenever it does an update. I have to manually reinstall the nvidia drivers every time I do a software update!

I'm not seeing anything about nvidia drivers in the logs which apport provided. Could you go through the process of having the drivers removed and then add the files '/var/log/apt/term.log' and '/var/log/apt/history.log'? Thanks again.

Hello Brian Murray,

Sure, I'll go through the update, the next time I'm prompted.

Do you want me to issue a sudo apt purge nvidia* and manually install
the nvidia drivers, instead?  Would you like me to add the the log files
to the bug report?  Thank you.

Best wishes,

Surendra
