uninstall nvidia driver but keep cuda












0















Debian 9 System. Cuda 8 was installed via nvidia-cuda-toolkit package. It seems nvidia driver (version 384) was also installed during the process.



Now I want to install new nvidia driver (v410) which is not available via apt. It is a .run file from nvidia website. To install the new version I need unstall the old version first. So my question is: how can I remove the old nvidia driver but keep the cuda toolkit? which package should I uninstall?



Here is the output from apt list --installed |grep nvidia:
