Nvidia-smi cannot communicate with the GPU (RTX 3060 Ti, Ubuntu 22.04, Kernel 6.5.0-28-generic, Driver 550)

Although I have installed the driver and confirmed that the GPU is detected, running nvidia-smi still results in a failure to communicate with the GPU (I’m working on a server that I access via SSH (using Tailscale)).

lspci | grep -i nvidia

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Previously, I also tried with kernel 6.8, but the result was the same. I’ve also tested with multiple driver versions.
What should I do next?
