    Exclamation Attempting to install Nvidia-Drivers results in dependancy errors

    Hello, I am following this tutorial https://www.kali.org/docs/general-us...on-kali-linux/ for trying to install nvidia drivers

    I have fully upgrade the system, done every step except when I use
    sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit

    the cuda toolkit installs successfully but the nvidia-driver not so much

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    Code:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     xserver-xorg-video-nvidia : Depends: xorg-video-abi-24 but it is not installable or
                                          xorg-video-abi-23 but it is not installable or
                                          xorg-video-abi-20 but it is not installable or
