I have installed the latest nvidia driver on my ubuntu 20.04 but when I try to run the command nvidia-settings I get this message and the software opens a blank window ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system (nvidia-settings:4940): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: 14:24:42.631: g\_object\_unref: assertion ‘G\_IS\_OBJECT (object)’ failed \*\* Message: 14:24:42.634: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort \*\* Message: 14:24:42.634: PRIME: is it supported? no When I try to use the command nvidia-smi I get this other message NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running. Someone help me, I have tried many tutorials but nothing happens. ---

Please check disabling secure boot. Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post. ---

There’s no nvidia gpu visible. Please check if it’s disabled in bios or this model doesn’t include one. ---

Yes, that’s the integrated Intel gpu. Your laptop model doesn’t include an nvidia gpu. ---
