I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.6 on liveUSB with persistent data, my machine has an Nvidia Quadro M1200 and a built-in Intel HD 630. In Additional Drivers I chose Using NVIDIA binary driver -version 384.130 from nvidia-384(proprietary, tested) and Apply Changes then reboot and disable Secure Boot in BIOS.
But when I boot to Ubuntu and enter command nvidia-smi, it says nvidia-smi: command not found.
Checking nvidia-settings gets an error:
** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no
ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should
have been installed along with this driver at
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The
application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be
prepopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text.
Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.
Then I follow Cuda installation guide- Linux and ran into a problem when I try to make sure kernel header matches with kernel version.

I have no idea what the error message means, not sure if I should I continue the installation or fix it now? But how ?
