I tried all I knew until now but there's no way to execute nvidia-smi.

This is my GPU:

$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001C81sv00001043sd0000203Bbc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050]
driver   : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-435 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-430 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-440 - third-party free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

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.

I have installed:

$ apt search nvidia-driver
nvidia-driver-440/unknown,now 440.33.01-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed]
  NVIDIA driver metapackage
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-440/unknown,now 440.33.01-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  NVIDIA binary Xorg driver

Plus (and this is really awful) I have just the option of to set the screen at 800x600 :(

Can anyone help me?

    Which ubuntu version are you using? And how did you install the nvidia drivers? – kanehekili Apr 22 '20 at 19:15
  • I use Ubuntu 19.10, I installed the drivers with apt and manually. Now after blacklisted the nvidia nouveau, I recovered the screen, but nothing about nvidia-smi. – Ibrinpies Apr 23 '20 at 02:55
  • Thats strange. If you install the nvidia driver by via "Software& Update" nouveau will be blacklisted in the process. Concerning your nvidia-smi problem - it has been discussed here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/902636/nvidia-smi-command-not-found-ubuntu-16-04 – kanehekili Apr 25 '20 at 18:30
  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' terminal command. – Pilot6 Apr 28 '20 at 15:52
