how to install graphics drivers
Does anyone know how to install Nvidia drivers? I'm looking more to get CUDA support working in a bootable ISO.
it looks like when it builds the init ramdisk it wants to use modules for a kernel not part of the chroot. What's worst, I went and rebooted my host so that it was running the same kernel as in the chroot( linux-image-4.10.0-42-generic) and it still wants to build modules from 4.10.0-43-generic into the ramdisk.
I tried setting the KERNEL option in the customizer.conf to linux-image-4.10.0-42-generic but that had no effect.
`vidia_304: Running module version sanity check.

I got past the kernel issue by booting the host in the same updated kernel the chroot upgrades to - 4.10.0-42 and also had to rebuild the chroot filesystem since there were lingering 4.10.0-43 references.
Now my problem is that driver install sees the driver already installed in the host kernel and won't install into the chroot environment.
Were you able to make any progress? I've gotten DKMS to build for ISOs before, but not for the nvidia stuff. I'll give it a shot with my 18.04 testing.
