Hi, I’m not able to load the NVIDIA driver since this morning. Yesterday everything was working just fine. RTX Geforce 2060 Super Drive version latest 460 Kernel - 5.12.9-051209-generic I’ve already tried everything that I found here in the forums, nothing helped. I don’t know what to do. I’m also attaching the nvidia-bug-report.log.gz. nvidia-smi can’t connect: “NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.” ![Screenshot from 2021-06-03 12-02-45](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/5/a/5af49dfcf1398c0c27b4197af35c6780ed65aa1d.png) [nvidia-bug-report.log.gz](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/uploads/short-url/czmUhqdLevwDPVtvpKqJVdjczpE.gz) (84.3 KB) ---
