I am an ubuntu system. I downloaded the graphics card driver from the official website of Nvidia and performed the installation operation. After entering nvidia-smi, “Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch” appeared. I also read some posts, but it still has not been resolved problem, can you help me?
ubuntu:20.04.1
nvidia:NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.86.01.run
rebooting doesn’t help me
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (98.6 KB)
can someone come and help me?
is the way I asked the question wrong? or is this forum no longer maintained?
You should not mix the .run file installation with the distro installation.
In general it’s better to use the distro packages, or use the graphics-drivers ppa.
Proprietary GPU Drivers : “Graphics Drivers” team, than the .run file installer.
First run the .run file installer with the --uninstall flag again.
Then do
sudo apt purge -s "nvidia*" "libnvidia*"
and install the distro package after.
thank goodness, there is finally a reply, the driver of the specified version cannot be found through the command ‘sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515.65.01’, my code needs ‘515.65.01’ driver, and the same ubuntu (20.04.1) system , with the same kernel (5.13.0-32-generic), I installed the 515.65.01 graphics card driver through the .run file. I successfully executed it on one machine, but a problem occurred when I changed a machine with the same configuration. This one point confuses me
I executed the following command, but still reported an error, Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.86.01.run --uninstall
sudo apt purge -s "nvidia*" "libnvidia*"
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515
nvidia-smi
you need to reboot after the driver installation.
Sorry, you need to omit the -s parameter. I forgot to remove it.
thank you for your reply, I operate according to the latest suggestion, and the previous error is still reported after restarting

Does the command
find /usr/lib -iname "*510.47.03*"
return the old libaries?
Also you should have used the 510.47.03 .run file installer.
there is no output from this command
i re-downloaded the ‘515.86.01’ driver and executed the following command, but the error is still reported: ‘Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch’, what should i do now?
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03.run --uninstall
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.86.01.run --uninstall
sudo apt purge “nvidia*” “libnvidia*”
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515
reboot
nvidia-smi
~# find / -name “nvidia” -print
do i need to delete the found remnants of the 510 graphics card driver? Here is the log
log.txt (25.7 KB)
my problem was finally solved, i deleted all 510 driver residues, nvidia-smi can be displayed normally,thank you for your reply
Every time I have this issue on a Red Hat machine it is because the kernel modules from an old nvidia installation are still packaged in the initramfs.
Check if the modules are there: lsmod | grep -i nvidia
Remove the modules: rmmod nvidia_drm | rmmod nvidia_modeset | rmmod nvidia
Backup initramfs: mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img{,.bak}
Create new initramfs: dracut -f -v
Reboot and install the driver
