Hi all,
I am currently using an edge device. It has jetpack 5.1 running on it. When I type the command “nvidia-smi”, it says “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 installed the drivers using “sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535”.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Hi,
Issue Resolved!
So looks like nvidia-smi doesn’t work with discrete GPU which I have in my edge device.
This issue came up while running rviz and I saw rendering issue.
After digging in a bit more, I noticed that apart from nvidia-l4t packages, my system also had libnvidia-gl-535 and libnvidia-gl-555 packages installed. Removing those packages resolved the issue. Seems like package conflicts was being caused while launching Rviz.
Ran: sudo apt remove libnvidia-gl-535 libnvidia-gl-515
and then Rviz ran smoothly without the rendering error. Below is the image of the rendering error I was facing.
Thanks!
