Hello everyone, I have been facing issues with my NVIDIA driver and Cuda version. I have tried many things on the internet. However, nothing looks to help.
when I run:
$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
These are all the steps I have done in order to have a global understanding of what I am seeing.
$ sudo systemctl status nvidia-persistenced
[sudo] password for marvin:
● nvidia-persistenced.service - NVIDIA Persistence Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-persistenced.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
$ sudo systemctl enable nvidia-persistenced
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
- A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit’s
.wants/ or .requires/ directory. - A unit’s purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it. - A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, …). - In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
I am not able to use GPU in my computer (Precision 7730):

1.- The distribution-provided pre-install script failed! Are you sure you want to continue?
→ Continue installation
2.- Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later.
→ Yes
3.-
Install NVIDIA’s 32-bit compatibility libraries?

When I try to install sudo sh cuda_10.1.168_418.67_linux.run, I am having the following error:
