package nvidia-340 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules', which is also in package nvidia-kernel-common-390 390.48-0ubuntu3

[Ardit Dashaj]

During the time i used Xubuntu 16.04, trying to install NVidia 390.48 it didn't allow me to use Cuda on Quadro cards, then i installed a new card GTX750Ti (Gigabyte) it did have the same issues, but downgrading to nvidia-384 on additional drivers, it did run OK. Today i did reinstalled the new Xubuntu 18.04 and it showed just nvidia-390, nvidia-340 and no cuda for nvidia-390.

Changing to nvidia-340 it keeps mw warning that system crashed, and there's no more Nvidia-384. Of course i do not have Cuda yet for GTX 750 ti, but i also do not have cuda for Quadro card too.
