I am not sure if this helps but I found that a "normal" installation with the third party install and driver update checkboxes unchecked worked for me. I posted my scenario above.
Once OS was setup I tried to install my graphics drivers manually. I saw that a very similar error while doing this and thought I would feed it back in case it helps. Apologies in advance as I didn't think to record all the output from the terminal. I've included the relevant section of history instead.
12 sudo apt install nvidia-settings
13 nvidia-settings
15 sudo apt remove nvidia-settings
16 sudo apt purge nvidia-settings
17 apt search nvidia-driver*
20 sudo apt install nvidia-driver-450 nvidia-settings
23 sudo apt install libc6:i386
26 sudo apt remove nvidia-driver-450 nvidia-settings
27 sudo apt install libc6:i386
28 sudo apt install nvidia-driver-450 nvidia-settings
29 nvidia-settings
Line 12/13 gave an error stating that I didn't have a driver. so I removed the nvidia-settings.
line 20 is where I tried to install the new driver. This gave an error to do with libc6:i386 which made me think of this bug log, hence i am posting it here.
Line 23 I installed this libc6:i386 thing separately as suggested above. it seemed to work
I removed and reinstalled the driver and everything seems to work.
Obviously, I did have to download the driver from nvidia's website before the install of the driver would work.
The missing lines of history are my naivety using terminal commands if a full history helps I have this but without the output side I doubt it's of use.
so thanks to Vadim Zeitlin (vz-ubuntu) for the suggestion.
