I am trying to install and use NVIDIA drivers. I’ve tried using “cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03_linux.run” and “cuda-repo-ubuntu2404-12-6-local_12.6.2-560.35.03-1_amd64.deb” but both failed. I’ve also tried installing from the repository “ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa”. I follow the steps, reboot and i still get “NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.”
PS: I’ve include some system information and the error output of the .run command
