Cuda Installer error for Linux Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64

Hi,

I am following the official installation guide @ CUDA Toolkit 11.7 Update 1 Downloads | NVIDIA Developer get the following error msg in the cuda-log.

Could anyone help to figure out what’s wrong and how to fix ?

Cuda Log:

ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module ‘nvidia-drm’ appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure to exit any programs that may be using the GPU(s) before attempting to upgrade your driver. If no GPU-based programs are running, you know that your kernel supports module unloading, and you still receive this message, then an error may have occured that has corrupted an NVIDIA kernel module’s usage count, for which the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

Any help is apprietiated

Thanks!

Before creating new topic I hadn’t noticed yours.
I have exactly the same problem.

I install CUDA using deb(local) approach:

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=deblocal

Now it’s Ok:
