Thanks for the report. It looks like it was detecting the package 'nvidia-340' for installation for you. This is in our CD image for mythbuntu (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily-live/current/xenial-desktop-amd64.list)

It is supposed to get installed directly from ubiquity's function to record_installed(). I wonder if something changed in ubiquity that's breaking this then..

        video_driver = progress.get('mythbuntu/video_driver')
        if video_driver != "Open Source Driver":
            #Install driver
            to_install.append(video_driver)

            #Build tvout/tvstandard
            out = progress.get('mythbuntu/tvout')
            standard = progress.get('mythbuntu/tvstandard')
            #Enabling xorg.conf stuff
            if 'nvidia' in video_driver:
                self.enable_nvidia(out,standard)
            else:
                self.enable_amd()

        #Mark new items
        install_misc.record_installed(to_install)

 Installing Nvidia 340.96 via Settings>Additional Drivers worked, Nvidia 304.131 was also available but I did not test this.

Nvidia X-server settings shows GeForce 210

So I think the issue here is actually libc6-i386 isn't in the live media and not a code problem.

Trying to install nvidia-340 on the media without web access requires libc6:i386 which fails, so the cache can't be marked properly.

From debugging it appears that this happens because libc6-i386 was promoted to the boot seed due to grub (not grub-pc) needing it.
