install-gpu-azure : exception "The nvidia driver version ... does not give good results ..."

[sthiy]

Hi, when running lesson 1 on azure gpu (Standard NC6 with Ubuntu 16.04) the following exception is thrown :
Exception: The nvidia driver version installed with this OS does not give good results for reduction.Installing the nvidia driver available on the same download page as the cuda package will fix the problem: http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

I tried others nvidia drivers without luck. But installing cuda-8 instead on 9 solved it for me. In my local version of install-gpu-azure.sh in replaced :
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
with
sudo apt-get -y install cuda-8-0

It fixed the problem.

This was also a fix for me running on a home machine with ubuntu 16.04 and an nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
