I am trying to install an Nvidia driver on Ubuntu 20.04. When I run this command

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440

I get an error:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

How do I fix this?

I followed these steps:

1. Select Show applications from gnome UI.
2. Type 'software' and select Software and Updates
3. Find Additional drivers tab and select it.
4. Open Terminal, type lscpi -v and validate your version of Nvidia and then check against

Hope your driver/hardware is on the list.
