Bug Description

Was doing the usual verification of https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/452/builds/299209/testcases/1771/results on my Nvidia-GPU-driven device. The install didn't quite go as the test-case says though - after selecting 3rd-party drivers on the installer screen, the installer was spinning for a while and then it moved on.

There was no 'Configure secure boot' screen displayed, not sure if that's by design? I guess nvidia drivers are signed and might not require anything special?

Then, after continuing through the next screens and started the installation, the install goes on... and on... and on... it's still going, 1 hour after it started. I checked the install output, and it seems like the issues seem to be related to SecureBoot. Attaching photo of the screen for now.

The install was started on a Dell Inspiron G3 with GeForce GTX 1660Ti.

So apparently the reason is that `ubuntu-drivers install` seems to be pulling in nvidia-dkms-550 instead of the pre-signed binaries. Pasetbin of an `ubuntu-drivers install` run on a 24.04 system:
