If all steps above were performed correctly, it will NOT complain about nouveau being loaded, and you can just ignore ALL other questions and continue pressing <enter> until the NVIDIA driver installs. If it fails to install, it ignore all questions until it asks to install or configure nvidia-xconfig for you, say no at this prompt. If it fails to install, it will clearly say that the NVIDIA Driver installation has failed. If this occurs, try running the installation file again, and provide us the LAST screen before the NVIDIA driver installation fails so we can further investigate.

#this is latest Linux Teamviewer install file from their website
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer_amd64.deb
apt install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb

#to run it, you can get to GUI, open terminal, and simply type in:
teamviewer

#if the teamviewer doesnt show a join code and just shows a dash then the following needs to be ran in a terminal line by line.

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
sudo systemctl stop networkd-dispatcher
sudo systemctl disable networkd-dispatcher
sudo systemctl mask networkd-dispatcher
sudo apt-get purge nplan netplan.io -y
sudo apt-get install ifupdown

#the networkmanager file will show managed=false
cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

#this file will need to be changed to look like this using VI or Nano
cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

#once file is changed and saved run

sudo service network-manager restart
reboot

#once system comes back up the network will then be able to be managed through the gui which will allow teamviewer to see the network cards and will then present the proper join codes. DHCP address will change

If you run into display issues on Step 8 or 9

I cannot stress enough that it is because the system has the onboard/offboard capability, and Ubuntu doesn't know what to do with it sometimes. It is more consistent with CentOS for it to work regardless what the primary display option in BIOS is, but Ubuntu has issues typically with onboard VGA. However, I haven't had issues with a Supermicro 4U with onboard with using the installation method listed above.
