This isn't a Calamares issue my friend, it is an NVIDIA DKMS issue ;)

Error! The module/version combo: nvidia-470.223.02/6.5.0-9-generic is not located in the DKMS tree.

shim-signed: failed to prepare dkms module for signing; ignoring.
  module: nvidia/470.223.02/6.5.0-9-generic
  kernel: 6.5.0-9-generic

Unless you're suggesting we should do more automatic driver inclusion?

The message I pasted

doesn't highlight this, we maybe need to add a page on discourse where we can point end-users too, maybe even mention in release notes (though not sure I'd like messing up release notes with it)

not sure how I'd write it up though.. what end-users would search for in this case if they encountered this issue.. would users consider the 'nvidia' card in their box etc.. if they actually know what card is in their box (for me it's a hp prodesk, they all look alike & I can't remember what's in each one)..

I don't remember this install; ISO date listed above is 20231124 where I just checked and the box I think this install is for has a running system with an install from 20231127
