Hi there,
I have a newly installed Ubuntu system to use for my work.
There is a /usr/bin/gnome-shell process when I use nvidia-smi.
I tried to get rid of it but failed. I looked into this question:
Can anybody tell me what specifically I need to do? I hope to use the GPU only for computing.

ubuntu22.04 $ dpkg -l | grep gnome-shell
ii gnome-shell 42.2-0ubuntu0.2 amd64 graphical shell for the GNOME desktop
ii gnome-shell-common 42.2-0ubuntu0.2 all common files for the GNOME graphical shell

ubuntu22.04 $
ubuntu22.04 $ sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell-*
And then, I fixed this issue.
