(真实有效)NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn‘t communicate with the NVIDIA driver.

问题：我已经安装nvidia驱动，但因为某些原因，不能用了，比如执行nvidia-smi出现：

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

解决

• 查看驱动的版本信息

	ls /usr/src | grep nvidia

输出：nvidia-535.86.10

• 安装内核

	sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v  535.86.10

如果提示：请注意5.10.0-31版本号
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64 cannot be found.
Please install the linux-headers-5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64 package,

则执行：注意版本号要和上面提示的一致

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64

• 继续执行

   sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v  535.86.10

提示：Module nvidia/535.86.10 already installed on kernel 5.10.0-31-cloud-amd64/x86_64

说明你已经安装成功了！

• 执行nvidia-smi就可以看到显卡信息了。
