Hi there,
I have an issue with installing my nvidia driver. Basically what happened was that I was previously on a GTX970 and had no issues with the older nvidia driver. I subsequently swapped out my graphics card for a newer quadro P4000 and had to reinstall my driver as it was giving issues(x-server crashing) for my ubuntu. During re-installation ubuntu reccomended installation of 384.90 and the install kept failing via the GUI. I subsequently tried to install via the terminal using apt-get nvidia-384 and the following is the output of the install:

Seems like it is failing at CONFTEST. Can anyone advise how to fix this issue?
