Your dkms is broken. I suggest to fix it this way:
sudo rm -r /var/lib/dkms/nvidia
sudo apt install --reinstall dkms
sudo apt purge "*nvidia*"
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-418
That will cleanup the dkms directory, create dkms.conf and install the driver properly.

Your dkms is broken. I suggest to fix it this way:
sudo rm -r /var/lib/dkms/nvidia
sudo apt install --reinstall dkms
sudo apt purge "*nvidia*"
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-418
That will cleanup the dkms directory, create dkms.conf and install the driver properly.

Where did you get
nvidia-dkms-415. There is no such package in Ubuntu repos. It must be from some PPA.– Pilot6

i'm using this ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
