下载合适的nvidia驱动以使用nvidia-smi

方法1

参考：参考资料，可能没有效

方法2

具体参考NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running里面已解决所使用的方法，主要的流程为：先删除所有与cuda有关的内容，再安装CUDA Toolkit：

Even with those commands, the issue wasn’t solved.

Eventually, the fastest way to fix 2 machines with a package manager is to purge all Nvidia & Cuda,did it by:

sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo apt-get remove --purge '^libnvidia-.*'
sudo apt-get remove --purge '^cuda-.*'

Then after it’s clean ran that:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

From here - it’s the same for all VMs:
Download latest run file from Nvidia site, and run it, accept if needed to upgrade current, or install from scratch.

The driver is back to work. （有时候需要重启电脑才能用nvidia-smi）

The issue was started after did some updates, and the Linux kernel was changed.
