nvidia-settings ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

I previously experience a login loop with ubuntu 18.04 after installing nvidia driver. And now it is solved by adding “nogpumanager” kernal parameter and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

But after adding the xorg.conf file, I can not open nvidia setting.

When typing nvidia-settings, I got:
nvidia-settings ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

Nvidia bug report has been attached.
nvidiasetting-nvidia-bug-report.log (6.44 MB)

That’s expected, the xserver is running on the on-board Aspeed server graphics. nvidia-settings requires an xserver running on an nvidia gpu.

so can it be solved?
we need to use the nvidia-settings

You would have to create an xorg.conf which includes all nvidia gpus and adding screens for each. You could then use nvidia-settings in CLI mode using the --display option or the DISPLAY env variable.
