[Bug 1831679] Re: update-manager removes nvidia drivers

[SURENDRA SINGARAM]

Hello Brian Murray,

Sure, I'll go through the update, the next time I'm prompted.

Do you want me to issue a sudo apt purge nvidia* and manually install 
the nvidia drivers, instead?  Would you like me to add the the log files 
to the bug report?  Thank you.

Best wishes,

Surendra
