Out of curiosity, can you name a model of nvidia GPU(-s) you have 
trouble with?
Are you sure you need legacy 340xx driver specifically? That version is 
for hardware that was released in 2009-2010 and older.
I think there is a chance you can install legacy 390xx version instead.
You can use 'nvidia-detect' program to check your hardware and get a 
driver version recommendation.
