The nvidia kernel driver is built but not being used by the kernel:
0a:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940M]
[10de:1347] (rev a2)
...
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
and nvidia-installer.log says:
-> The distribution-provided pre-install script failed! Are you sure you want
to continue? (Answer: Continue installation)
ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. This
driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver, and must be disabled before
proceeding. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your Linux
distribution's documentation for details on how to correctly disable the
Nouveau kernel driver.
So I think what you need to do is disable the kernel modesetting system. That
will prevent 'nouveau' from working and will make the proper 'nvidia' driver
happy. To do that you just need to:
1. Add 'nomodeset' to your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub.
2. sudo update-initramfs
3. Reboot
4. Tell us if it worked.
If that didn't work then the next step is:
5. Run: dmesg > dmesg.txt
6. Send us the new dmesg.txt file.
