[SOLVED] Discover system upgrades failing for a few days now...

[faster1]

I've run into an issue with Discover over the last week or so. It queues up a system upgrade, but always fails. Below is the error message. Is this something I need to fix myself, or is this a driver mismatch on Ubuntu's end? I'm running an Nvidia RTX 4070 with the "Using NVIDIA driver (open kernel) metapackage from nvidia-driver-580-open (proprietary, tested)" option selected in the driver manager tool.

Dependency resolution failed: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-modules-nvidia-580-open-6.14.0-32-generic: Depends: nvidia-kernel-common-580 (<= 580.65.06-1) but 580.95.05-0ubuntu0.25.04.1 is to be installed


Thank you for your time.

Try using apt:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

If you see the same error, try using

sudo apt full-upgrade

I'm wondering if Ubuntu's phased updates are getting in the way here. I've seen a couple of similar instances of this, though one was KDE neon, and the other was 24.04.

But in any case, the few packages being phased this week didn't seem to be related to kernel modules and nvidia, even with many layers of dependencies.

Ubuntu's phased updates are a bit randomized at the system level, but using Discover vs apt, one can sometimes be seen as phased, and the other as not phased. The neon user having the same error had success when using apt.

If you still get the error, post more of the output, particularly the lines just above this.

I'm guessing this was just an issue with phased updates or something because it resolved itself. Marking solved.

Cool that it's fixed.
Running apt update will show if there are any phased updates, so you can use that find out and see what they are.
The dependency layers can go pretty deep, but this last group, as far as I could tell didn't seem to have a connection to Nvidia or kernel bits.

It isn't solved. I am having an update failure and I have tried all methods mentioned.

I have tried all methods mentioned.

Except for post the error messages seen.......

Except for post the error messages seen.......

For me, late this afternoon it allowed me to move forward and update. So I am at least in the solved column.
