NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn‘t communicate with the NVIDIA 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.

据大伙儿反应公共服务器一直显示连接超时，无法正常连接，便去七楼查看情况，发现并不是网络问题，使用万能办法：重启！
重启过后果然解决了连接问题，但又出现了新的问题，输入nvidia-smi后报错：

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

搜了几个帖子，解决了该问题。

1，首先使用 nvcc- V 命令查看驱动与CUDA。

nvcc -V

nvcc: NVIDIA ® Cuda compiler driver
Copyright © 2005-2020 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Thu_Jun_11_22:26:38_PDT_2020
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.0, V11.0.194
Build cuda_11.0_bu.TC445_37.28540450_0

发现驱动存在，进行下一步。

2， 进行查看驱动版本信息。

ls /usr/src | grep nvidia

我的版本显示为：

nvidia-460.73.01

3， 最后一步。

sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 460.73.01

最后输入gpustat检查一下，发现可以正常 显示了：
