Nvidia-settings works only sometimes?

Hello, I tried to lookup on the net and here in the forums but I couldn’t find an answer to my issue.

I saw the solution proposed by user generix to this question and I’ve managed to make some nvidia-settings options work like this:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffsetAllPerformanceLevels=300
sudo DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority nvidia-settings -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffsetAllPerformanceLevels=1000

Problem is that if I issue some other commands like:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/rub/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority nvidia-settings -q all
sudo DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/rub/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority nvidia-settings -q [fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM

it says “No protocol specified”

Why it works only with some commands?

Because it’s ‘run’, not ‘rub’.

What else could I say except that I’m an idiot? I guess nothing more.
Thank you mate
