Ubuntu 20.04, nvidia-smi has failed. Reinstalling drivers has not solved the issue, GTX 1650

Hi Luca,

Thank you for your suggestions! I did run through your post and eventhough I installed the driver, and blacklisted nouveau, I have an issue after the line

The terminal prints that that file does not exist, and the other command succesively.

Even when running nvidia-setting, the computer yields:

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded


ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system


(nvidia-settings:4661): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 10:06:23.039: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

and still, nvidia-smi yields the same original output. Thank you for your help, though!
