After facing issues with nvidia 396, I wanted to move back to nvidia 390 on Ubuntu 18.04.
I purged nvidia from the system, moving back to the default xorg driver.
I then added the repository ($ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa ), and tried to install 390 by
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
However, this is also installing nvidia 396 on my machine.
How can I install 390?
Thanks.
Solved.
What was happening was that another ppa was interfering and the download was taking place from that repo.
It was the System76 Pop repository. I removed it from Software and Updates.
After that, running
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
installs the 390 driver as expected.
