I had a problem with cuda and nvidia driver compatibility issue on Ubuntu Linux OS, so I gave the following commands to install latest drivers
(I am logged in using SSH through remote PC)
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers install
$ sudo reboot
I get error after nvidia-smi as follows
$ 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.
I have also shared nvidia-bug-report here nvidia-bug-report
I am giving below outputs from various commands if it might help in diagnosis.
$ nvcc --version

I looked at similar posts before, but I still cannot figure out what is the issue in my case. I’d really appreciate if you could help in finding what causes this failure.
Thank you in advance.
