Public bug reported:
When installing any nvidia display drivers on Ubuntu 17.10 with kernels
4.14.*+ the installation will be considered successful, even though it
isn't, and the drivers won't work properly.
There will be a dkms apport error saying that the kernel headers aren't
supported (and further various compilation errors in a log file), but
the installation finishes normally. With the GUI install, the error
isn't even visible.
I cannot provide any relevant log files, but it should be easily
reproduced.
An obvious fix would be to cancel the installation altogether and raise
an error if the kernel isn't supported.
