NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
This is the problem coming out the real problem I have done everything I found on internet, the real problem seems a miss match between the kernel and the drivers.
This is a part of the file log generated:

AND:
NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 530.30.02, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 525.89.02. Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.
I try to install manually but I give me a lot of problem and every time I fix one of those another come out. Hence, looking in internet I figure out that the nvidia 1650 max-q has some different installation then the others. How can I install it ?
