Hello
Before I begin with anything, I want to state that I am a complete newbie to the Linux environment, so I may have done something wrong or may not exactly understand what to do.
So, this is the first time ever I have installed a Linux OS on my old laptop with a 3rd gen i7 and a GT-635M, and have been struggling to get the GPU drivers to install on this system. Whenever I use the setup assistant, the prompt for installing drivers in the terminal always ends with the script being stopped, because one of the packages is missing- it's the"nvidia-390xx-settings" package, just like it is shown below. I also tried installing the drivers from the settings manager manually, but it ended with the same result.
Here is what the terminal says:

I have no idea what to do to fix it. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
The post form also said to attach the system information, so here it is:
