Public bug reported:
First off I used install package to install the NVidia drivers, then I
found you needed to use the restricted device manager to install. I then
installed the restricted device manager and selected NVidia drivers to
install. At this point the restricted driver manager started the install
package manager and promptly crashed complaining about overwriting
files. At this point I deinstalled the nvidia drivers completely and
tried again. This time it worked OK, however since then the system has
frozen up a few times... sigh
