DGX spark setup

Setup DGX spark.See also ubuntu postinstall.

Slim down the system

Manually add required packages first.

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop-minimal apturl apturl-common avahi-utils branding-ubuntu dgxstation-desktop dgxstation-grub gnome-tweaks language-pack-en language-pack-gnome-en yaru-theme-unity gedit nautilus-share nvidia-plymouth nvidia-update-manager samba tdb-tools ibus-chewing

Then remove unneeded packages, for example:

sudo apt remove libreoffice
sudo apt autoremove

The apt packages manager will not accidentally remove packages you need due to nvidia-system-station dependency.
