[Bug 1378949] Re: package nvidia-331 331.89-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 8

 

lionel-l's fix is working perfectly.
Note that the process can be found by issuing the command "ps -ef | grep -i nvidia" and kill the process with "kill -9 ????"

Thank you for the fix.
