Nvidia-smi shows "No devices were found" on ubuntu server 22.04 LTS with RTX3060

Hello.
I’ve tried many ways to install the driver of RTX3060 on the ubuntu server 22.04 LTS (Actually a dual OS computer with Windows 10), and met some troubles.
At first, I tried to install it with the recommented version from the default source of ubuntu, however when run “nvidia-smi” it shows “No devices were found”;
Secondly, I tried to uninstall (with apt uninstall) and reinstall it with the .run file from nvidia’s official website, and it returns “lib/driver version are not match” when run “nvidia-smi”.
Thirdly, considering about maybe I had not uninstalled the previous driver completely, I tried uninstall it deeply (with “sudo apt purge nvidia-*” and autoremove) and reinstall it again (with .run file), but it was still not work.
Fourthly, I tried reinstall it with PPA source, and “No devices were found” again.
Fifthly, which is the latest attempt, I redownloaded the .run file (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.67.run) with the latest version and installed it, still with “No devices were found”.

The order above may have some mistakes because of too many attempts, however, I indeed tried the above ways. And here are other informations maybe helpful:

Here is the bug report file:
nvidia-bug-report.log (724.4 KB)
I also find nvidia-installer.log
nvidia-installer.log (41.7 KB)
, nvidia-uninstall.log
nvidia-uninstall.log (1.3 KB)
and cuda-installer.log
cuda-installer.log (180 Bytes)
(I tried to install cuda after the first or second attempt of driver installation, but it had been uninstalled before the next attempt).

I wonder how to make it work well?
I’m appreciate for anyone’s generous help.

Shouldn’t happen, the nvidia driver doesn’t like your bios. For a workaround, please switch to the nvidia-open driver.
