My computer is Dell XPS-15.

After clean installation, when trying to install Nvidia drivers, using Software Updater, or by installing packages from Nvidia site, with CUDA or without it, I am getting failures.

My computer is Dual boot ( with Windows 10, where GPU works ok ). Last time I installed Ubuntu 20 on same computer, it worked smoothly. Hence it seems something got broken in the installation script.

The failures I got looks like this one:

 http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 libpciaccess0 i386 0.16-0ubuntu1
  404  Not Found [IP: 192.115.211.70 80]

Hence, it seems maybe the Local Server is messed up.

Any good advice ?

Thanks Shmuel Hass

Hit Win-key and type additional, click Additional Drivers - in there you should have Nvidia drivers (several versions) listed, pick one, try to get it running; it might be that the very latest one doesn't run though.

If not present in the list, check that the first tab (left of Additional Drivers) has a tick SET for Software restricted by copyright ... and check again.

Problem solved by changing the server of Ubuntu updates to MAIN instead of LOCAL. Now CUDA and NVIDIA drivers are installed correctly and run perfectly.

How come the local server in Israel is messed up and how come I'm the only one that is affected ? I wasted several days on this .....

@Hannu - I tried what you suggested and also other methods, all failed
