I’m trying to install on Nvidia GTX 2080 on Ubuntu version 20.04. I installed the drivers using
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
and it worked. But
nvidia-smi
says “no devices were found’”
I’m not sure what the problem might be, the bug report it attached below.
Thank you!

Looks like you installed the -open version of the driver, which is not really compatible with your computer.
Try to install the proprietary version, which does not say open kernel using Software & Updates.
Thank you Mart! I have deleted the open driver and installed the one you suggested. Unfortunately, the same issue remains. I attached the new bug report below.

When you created the bug report, the nouveau driver was loaded.
I see you installed the driver, and 20 seconds later you created the bug report. Did you even reboot?
Anyways, the nouveau driver needs to be blacklisted in order for the nvidia driver to load.
Search the web for instructions how to.
That’s true; the report is before the reboot. I tried getting another one after rebooting, but the computer didn’t start after the installation. I tried to create the bug report in safe mode after rebooting, but it got stuck. I will attempt to blacklist the Nouveau driver and see if it helps.
@Mart, I have blacklisted the driver and run the debug report during reboot. It got stuck and didn’t reboot correctly until I purged the nvidia driver.
Note: The error when invoking nvidia-smi is now different: " NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running."
Here’s the bug report:

Your log says, for a time you hadn’t blacklisted nouveau correctly, so the nvidia driver could not load. But looks like you solved it.
Now the driver crashes, when trying to load:

Those things I would try:
First look for a BIOS update.
Try again with the nvidia driver. You can look at the dmesg output in the bug report, to see if it still crashes.
If yes, I’d try a different driver version. 525 series, or maybe even 515 series.
