Dell laptop with Quadro RTX3000 using Ubuntu 24.04. Installed latest nvidia-driver-550 (550.90.07-0ubuntu0.24.04.1), but nvidia-smi cannot communicate with driver
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
using lsmod | grep nvidia shows the following:
i2c_nvidia_gpu 12288 0
i2c_ccgx_ucsi 12288 1 i2c_nvidia_gpu
I am using wayland as ubuntu 24.04 default, if that matters.

I have the same issue on my Lenovo Legion i5 with the 555.58.02-3 driver on CachyOS (Arch).

Turns out to be a secure boot issue: trying sudo modprobe nvidia will give:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Key was rejected by service
Which seem to suggest nvidia kernel module was not signed properly. Simply disabling secure boot makes nvidia driver working again.
Now nvidia-smi will give a proper result, and the graphic card works ok.
