NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn‘t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the

疫情啥时候结束呢？？？

问题描述：在宿舍隔离了一个月之后，打开ubuntu，使用sudo apt update更新了一下系统，结果运行cuda程序时，发现驱动找不见了，使用nvidia-smi查看显卡，也显示NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

嘚，我以为驱动又没了（其实是重装习惯了），在我拿出祖传驱动文件就要重装时，提示我，我已经安装了这个版本的驱动，你还要重新装吗，~~en，此事莫那么简单[doge]，我选择了不重装，一番搜索大佬们踩过的坑，我悟了，嘿。。。

解决方案：
原因：我更新了系统内核，，而驱动还”记得“是以前的内核版本，所以两者不匹配了

查看正在使用的内核版本：

uname -a

我这里的的输出结果为：

Linux a504-701 5.4.0-107-generic #121~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 24 17:21:33 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

查看已安装的内核：

dpkg --get-selections |grep linux-image

输出如下：

linux-image-5.4.0-100-generic			install
linux-image-5.4.0-104-generic			install
linux-image-5.4.0-107-generic			install
linux-image-5.4.0-84-generic			deinstall
linux-image-5.4.0-92-generic			deinstall
linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04			install

输入如下命令：

sudo apt-get install dkms # 安装dkms
sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 470.103.01 # 470.103.01为驱动版本号，按照自己的驱动版本改一下

输出如下：

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.103.01/source ->
                 /usr/src/nvidia-470.103.01

之后，nvidia-smi查看驱动，成功
