I have Zorin up and running with the Nouveau drivers, but trying to switch to Nvidia. Driver 390 comes up in "Additional Drivers" but install fails with:
I have a Quadro 1000M video card on the old laptop.

Anyone have suggestions or is this card simply too old?
(saw another thread recently posted with no details, unsure if it is the same problem)
Tried this....booted to a text only terminal mode afterwards. So I went through the steps listed here:
It threw up a bunch of error messages when I ran the NVIDIA driver .run file (which I grabned from their site), but I was able to reboot back in graphics mode with nouveau. Guessing the 'purge' was really all that had an effect.
Just for fun I tried to switch to 390 again...it never seemed to complete the install through the software updater, so I hit "close". All of the sudden it claims to be running nvidia drivers through the settings and sees the Quadro card. Running the "valley" demo shows an improvement (albeit still terrible, but to be expected).
I have a similar video controller and the same issue and error while installing package in Zorin 17: [Nvidia 390 driver install says exit status 10 (313)] and found no solution yet.
In my tests I now have Nvidia driver 340 working fine. One thing to be aware of, in my case at least, is that in the bios I found I had to select Discreet graphics specifically. The default was "Nvidia Optimus", which is supposed to auto switch but I suppose may not be supported.
Might be worth ensuring only Discreet graphics is selected, then installing the driver and seeing if that helps.
