I’m using my Acer Aspire VX15 with a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti mobile. My goal is to enable cuda and cudnn for using tensorflow (Also I know it is not ideal, but it’s enough for my practicing).

So, After I’ve updated Ubuntu for 20.04, I can’t check nvidia anymore.

I’ve installed drivers, but nvidia-smi returns this error message:

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

The results of log from bug-report is attached.

In advance, I’m grateful for your help.

Hi @TunaHanUlusoy, thanks for your reply.

I’ve installed the Nvidia driver version 390. That’s working now. When I tried 440 or subsequent versions, the gpu wasn’t recognized.

One more detail, I’ve forgot that I’m using kernel 5.6 rather 5.4. I’ve changed it and the problem was solved.

Thanks again.
