Error: Unmet dependancies

I am Data analytics student, I got the chance to download google VM this week to deal with big data frameworks. I am facing many errors to get my libraries installed such as tenser flow! I had to download NVIDIA to get it installed , after installing I got the following errors: Unmet dependencies , No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already >> dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

I am not sure what is the issue, I only have this account from 5 days a go , I cant believe I used up all my space ?

Hi @noor_salam ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Here are the workarounds and guides that might help to solve your issue:

The error you’re encountering likely cause:

  • Incomplete or interrupted installations - The errors you’re encountering are due to issues with the apt package manager on your Debian-based system. Check this documentation to Configure VMs to install Debian packages.
  • Repository issues - possible there are missing dependencies and need to install packages.

Here are also the following commands that might help to free up space or resize the disk:

  • To show Disk Space Usage

    df -h  ​
    
  • To update Package Lists

    sudo apt update
    
  • To fix broken install

    sudo apt reinstall​
    
  • To Clean up Package Cache

    sudo apt clean
    

Additional, here are the drivers and installation instruction for TensorFlow and NVIDIA Driver

  • Try to Reinstall your TensorFlow

  • Reinstall your NVIDIA Driver or you can use this command:

    sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx
    

I hope the above information is helpful.
