When trying to install cuda-10-2 which includes the 460 nivida driver, the following error appears.

INFO:Enable nvidia DEBUG:Parsing

Setting up nvidia-driver-460 (460.32.03-0ubuntu1) ...

It seems that the driver is incompatible with the kernel.

I could solve my problem doing this - removing all nvidia drivers, installing gcc-8 using this sequence of commands:

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge nvidia-driver-*
sudo apt install gcc-8
sudo update-alternatives --remove-all gcc
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 10
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc cc /usr/bin/gcc-8 10
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-460
reboot
