Title:
  Unable to install 'nvidia-driver-440' due to conflicts.

  The Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop Live CD installer crashes when trying to
  install. Installing without updates succeeds, but results in a broken
  install (no ethernet, or dkms for some reason).

  How the error occurred:
   - Run Live CD (normal graphics mode)
   - Run installer
   - Select "Minimal install" and "install third-party software"
   - Set up partition table (2GB EFI partition, rest of disk Ubuntu)
   - Installer crashes at last stage

  Expected behaviour: Installer doesn't crash
  Actual behaviour: Installer crashes.

  Note, I have installed ubuntu 20.04 on this system before, so I have
  no idea why the installer would crash here.

  EDIT: Problem appears to be caused by nvidia-driver-440 package.
  Installing with 21.10 (which defaults to nvidia-driver-470) appeared
  to fix the problem.
