kernel update never finishes with proprietary nvidia

[Damon Lynch]

While I have the Nvidia proprietary driver installed, am currently running the monitor off of the CPU's built-in graphics adapter. Two GTX 1070s are present.

The kernel update always gets stuck at the DKMS stage, e.g.:

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 4.13.0-21-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-21-generic

When the monitor is plugged into one of the Nvidia adapters, the kernel updates as expected.
