Hi All,
I have been having issues installing NVIDIA drivers onto my Ubuntu box. The machine uses the onboard GPU (intel) for visualization with a hope to use the K80s for computing.
I have tried installing though multiple different paths including GUI and a few different options on CMD.
Anyhow, I am not very adept at linux and would appreciate any help you all can give.
When I try “nvidia-smi” → “NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.”
“dkms status”–>
nvidia, 390.138, 5.4.0-53-generic, x86_64: installed
“lspci -v | grep 3D”–>
03:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK210GL [Tesla K80] (rev a1)
04:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK210GL [Tesla K80] (rev a1)
07:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK210GL [Tesla K80] (rev a1)
08:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK210GL [Tesla K80] (rev a1)
“nvidia-settings”–>
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
Here is the debug report:

I appreciate any help. Also being that I am a linux-moron, please use baby steps.

It looks like there’s a system-level configuration problem that is preventing the GPUs from being initialized:

One common cause of that kind of problem is if your system BIOS is configured not to allow PCIe device resources to be located above the 4 GB memory line. If there are enough GPUs in the system, it can run out of address space and just fail to assign mappings for these important memory resources.
Please check your system BIOS to see if there’s an option called something like “Above 4G decoding” and make sure it’s enabled.
