The guide at https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/nvidia.html says to install nvidia-410, but the package name is actually nvidia-driver-410.

Thanks for alerting me! Apparently the graphics-drivers PPA has changed its naming convention, in order to make the names of its drivers differ slightly from the names in the official repo's. I wasn't aware that this had happened.

I've corrected my how-to accordingly. Thanks for helping to make my website better!
