Weird error when updating Graphics Drivers

[littlegreen]

Hi all,

Just updated to High Sierra minutes ago. I did the direct update through the terminal command option to retain HFS+

Installation went fine, I get to the desktop - with no acceleration and a 7MB display adapter. I have clicked the "Use NVidia drivers" in the clover boot options - so it should be initiated.

More so, the NVidia web driver manager sprung a message out saying "Hey! There's new drivers out!"
I have tried updating through the nvidia driver manager and I have tried downloading the driver manually (Yes a few times), but I always get the following error:

I am not clicking Continue as a precaution. Is this the normal way of updating your graphics drivers?

Below is the log from Console, which doesn't really tell me anything - but I thought someone mind find it useful.
