This is my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list:

deb https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/ubuntu16.04/x86_64 /
deb https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/ubuntu16.04/x86_64 /
deb https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/ubuntu16.04/x86_64 /

Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

This is because ubuntu16 is no longer supported by Nvidia

They have shut this repo down

visiting the error page shows they have marked it as unsupported https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/ubuntu16.04/x86_64

check out the below for supported versions https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/
