I have a VM running with Ubuntu Server 20.04.04
installed driver version 515.86.01
nvidia-smi output

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

Incorrectly set up VM. Delete, recreate, set EFI instead of BIOS Boot, then install ubuntu.
