I installed a fresh build for Ubuntu 20.04, without secure boot and when I run nvidia-smi, I get the following error:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Here are the articles I've tried to follow with and I've tried all those solutions: https://clay-atlas.com/us/blog/2022/07/29/solved-nvidia-smi-has-failed-because-it-couldnt-communicate-with-the-nvidia-driver-make-sure-that-the-latest-nvidia-driver-is-installed-and-running/
These are my outputs:
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.
Then
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
