I am trying to download Nvidia, and it won't let me.
It says:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Nvidia-390:
Depends: lib32gcc1 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libc6-i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have broken packages.
I have tried everything on the internet I could find and would really appreciate new ideas
apt nvidia package-management dpkg dependencies

Nvidia 384.111 is the (tested) driver in the standard repositories for Ubuntu 16.04. There is no need for using the graphics-drivers ppa to get a later version at this time. Revert back to the standard packages with:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
There were so many "graphics-drivers" ppas from various sources in the past, check /etc/apt/sources.list.d for any unwanted ppas (just delete the file and rerun sudo apt-get update).
Then list and remove any installed nvidia packages:
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
Installed packages are on lines beginning with "ii"
sudo apt-get purge <the installed nvidia packages>
Check that all the blacklist lines were removed from all the files in /etc/modprobe.d. Comment them out if necessary.
Update the package index:
sudo apt-get update
And now run the Software and Updates from the launcher, and under the Additional drivers tab should be the Nvidia 384.111 (tested) driver.
Select that, and apply. Reboot and check that you are running the correct driver with the Nvidia Settings (from the launcher).

Good that no nvidia packages show up in dpkg -l, try the ppa-purge graphics-drivers again, I fixed a typo, left out repository.

I don't use ppa-purge myself, and I'm having trouble understanding the man page, try sudo ppa-purge -p graphics-drivers
