NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver Dell laptop I tried the Ubuntu nouveau as well as the ubuntu-drivers nvidia-driver-525 and nvidia-driver-525-open without success. Setting prime-select nvidia made no difference. None of my applications would use the NVIDIA GPU in preference of the integrated Intel. nvidia-smi would not recogonize the gpu Solution: # clean-out any previous attempts sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*' -y; sudo apt-get remove --purge '^libnvidia-.*' -y; sudo apt-get remove --purge '^cuda-.*' -y sudo apt-get purge bumblebee -y sudo apt-get -y autoremove Download the latest Linux driver from NVIDIA. https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx sudo apt install build-essential libglvnd-dev pkg-config # If you already tried the NVIDIAinstallers blacklisting method you can skip this sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf" sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf" sudo update-initramfs -u /sbin/reboot # after reboot and logging back in sudo telinit 3 sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-*.run sudo /sbin/reboot sudo apt install nvidia-prime sudo prime-select nvidia # should be for the last time /sbin/reboot nvidia-smi Referenceshttps://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux |
