Hello friends.
I have Ubuntu 16 with several 1080 ti.
Connecting in ssh. to control fans i used
DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1
DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 nvidia-settings -a [fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=80
All works fine!

But today my computer turned off because of electric power.
And now, after boot i have error when using this commands

DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run nvidia-settings --help for usage
information.

What can happened?

Please check if there’s an Xserver running at all
ps aux |grep X

Thanks for reply!

Obviously, no Xserver running that nvidia-settings could connect to.
Already rebooted?
Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post. You will have to rename the file ending to something else since the forum software doesn’t accept .gz files (nifty!).

There’s something wrong with one of the gpus, the driver loads but the underlying pci bridge is spilling errors:

[   83.690579] pcieport 0000:00:1c.7: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e7
[   83.690589] pcieport 0000:00:1c.7: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e7(Receiver ID)
[   83.742375] pcieport 0000:00:1c.7:   device [8086:a297] error status/mask=00000001/00002000
[   83.791138] pcieport 0000:00:1c.7:    [ 0] Receiver Error         (First)

and the Xserver is outright crashing.
The gpu connected to the bridge is pci id 09:00.0, locate it, remove it, check if the system then works. Afterwards, plug it back in, maybe it’s just a bad slot connection.
