Cannot query NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu - new issue

Hello,

After solving the problem, described here
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1072554/cudnn/cannot-query-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu/post/5435138/#5435138
… the troubles related to the problem reappear.

Probably caused by update/upgrade, the request nvidia-smi doesn’t work anymore:

pavel@ALABAMA:~$ nvidia-smi
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

The only solution that I’ve found is to reinstall CUDA.
So, 1st I de-installed CUDA using:

sudo apt-get --purge remove “nvidia

Then I’ve tried to install once more using runfile approach from here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=runfilelocal

I reinstall CUDA.
Now it’s Ok:
pavel@ALABAMA:~$ nvidia-smi
