Thanks @generix for helping out. By looking at the logfile of the bug report I saw that the wrong kernel was still selected. When changing to 5.11.0.41 (generic) it works!
hi @generix .
I am now experiencing the same problem (nvidia-smi returns an error) after upgrading my Ubuntu from 18.04 to 20.04.3.
Also, because of this problem, I suspected my OS cannot connect to the external monitor.
Some information about the graphic card of my PC, I have a hybrid graphic card - Intel and NVIDIA
I have tried the following to solve the problem, and they did not solve the error:
-
Remove all nvidia packages, and re-install Nvidia package/driver by using sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
-
Install different Nvidia drivers (390, 460, 470, 495)
-
Upgrade my kernel from 5.7 to 5.11, remove all nvidia packages, re-install the package
-
Install nvidia cuda toolkit
-
Disable Secure Boot
Would you be so kind to help me? I have been banging my head to solve this problem without luck.
I have attached the nvidia report log in this message. I appreciate your help so much!

The nvidia gpu is simply turned off. Due to driver flooding the logs because of this, I canāt see the reason. Please check if you have bbswitch installed and uninstall it.

Thanks so much for the hint @generix! I uninstalled bbswitch-dkms, and the error was gone.
For those who face a similar problem, I wrote the full steps that I used to fix the problem: how to properly install nvidia 470 drivers on ubuntu 20.04? - Ask Ubuntu
Hi Generix,
Iām experiencing the same issues as everyone in this post, even after following all the suggestions. Iām currently running the 495.29.05 drivers for an GTX 765M.
Things checked:
-
secure boot is disabled -
no blacklist-nvidia.conf file exists -
no multiple versions of drivers installed
Iām also attaching the nvidia-bug-report.log.gz.
Many thanks
My notebook is using both intel integrated and external GPU. (GeForce GTX 765M Video Card).

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldnāt communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

I guess that says it allā¦ Install the v470 driver (through Software & Updates)ā¦ (remove v495 first of course).
I have been trying to figure out the issues for days now and thanks to your suggestion in running the nvidia-bug-report.sh (Iām new to linux) I was able to at least have a clue for why this is happening.
The thing that caught my attention was Unable to find installed file '/etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd' (No such file or directory).
Iām also attaching the log file and would really appreciate any advice.
I have searched for a solution but nothing I tried worked
I installed the driver after running the command sudo ubuntu-drivers devices and installed nvidia-driver-495 since it had recommended next to it.

@generix I have upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 and using the latest Kernel also checked all the solutions listed above but without any results.
Please could you take a look at my bug report and help me understand why I;m getting Unable to find installed file '/etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd' (No such file or directory)?
I have been trying and rebooting my PC for a week now and it is getting really frustrating
Processing: nvidia-bug-report.log.gzā¦
In your previous bug-report.log you had a kernel built for 21.10 installed in ubuntu 20.04 which prevented the nvidia mudule to build.
Your current bug-report is stuck in the virus scanner. Please open a new thread, since as a new user, you can only reply three times to a foreign thread.

Any help would be appreciated!
You have the wrong gcc version set as system compiler, should be 7.5 but is 6.5.
Thanks! I reinstalled with the proper gcc version and it works.
Hi.
So i recently am experiencing the same problem. I noticed, when my second monitor stopped working and my first monitor,s resolution was wrong and couldnāt change it.
- Prime Profile Already selected
- No blacklist-nvidia.conf
- No nvidia entry in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
- Secure boot OFF
- Nvidia Settings says the Driver isnāt loaded
What i have tried to resolve the Issue:
- Reinstall Drivers via āAdditional Driversā: Nothing happened
- Install Official Nvidia Driver: Threw GCC one time, but hasnāt worked since.
- Fixing GCC by installing the correct Version: Still no luck
- Installing Drivers from System76
- Deleting X11 Config file, and monitors.xml
- Tried different Drivers.

var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.86/5.16.11-76051611-generic
You built the driver for kernel 5.16.
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.11.0-44-generic
But all the boot entries in the log are from kernel 5.11.
So either boot the 5.16 kernel, or install the nvidia driver for the 5.11 kernel using dkms:
sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 470.86 -k 5.11.0-44-generic
Hello, I am facing the same issue.

Can anyone please help me with this?
There doesnāt seem to be any kernel modules installed. Please reinstall the kernel headers
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)
and post the output of
dkms status
Thank you for a fast reply.
I have reinstalled kernel modules. should I reinstall nvidia drivers too?
dkms status does not give any output.
Having the same problem as others here. been trying a couple of the solutions but none working. Iām about to give up. I attach the bug report file.

Please set kernel parameter
pci=realloc
Thank you so much for the reply. Iām a beginner using Ubuntu but I think I managed to set pci=realloc, it still doesnāt work though. got any more ideas?
Note! I couldnāt upload the bug report as a .gz (it was processing and nothing happened) so I uploaded it as a txt file instead. bug report.txt (542.8 KB)
