[Bug 1824211] Re: Ubiquity in 18.04.2 does not install nvidia driver when requested to do so

[Will Cooke]

This is probably a packaging problem on the nvidia drivers rather than a
bug in Ubiquiuty.  Moving there for more ideas.


** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New
