Thanks -- I was presented with the option to disable the SB during the
install. But that didn't persist after reboot, I realised that the ​once I
disabled the UEFI-Windows Secure boot in the BIOS the problems went away.

Title:
  package shim-signed 1.27~16.04.1+0.9+1474479173.6c180c6-1ubuntu1
  failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation
  script returned error exit status 1 Crashed on changing from Xorg
  video driver to NVIDIA driver

Status in shim-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've encountered this repeatedly.

  In the first installation -- on updating via Software Updater, this
  crashed on upgrading the shim-signed package.

  On suggestions from here:

  I upgrade the system via CLI, i.e. dist-upgrade. This seemed to work,
  however when I now try to swap the display driver, from xorg -->
  nvidia. This now triggered the same issue.
