我已经尝试了多个版本nvidia-driver（360、390、460） - 但当我运行时，我都会得到以下结果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.
以下是我的硬件和软件详细信息：

我的电脑是Acer TravelMate 5360，我正在运行Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS。如果您需要更多详细信息来告诉我正确的驱动程序版本，请告诉我，我会添加它们！
答案1
仅使用推荐的版本 - 并且 - 不要忘记在 BIOS 中禁用安全启动（如果适用）。
对于旧的 520M，目前只有长期支持分支支持它，即 390.xx 驱动程序。
您应该能够使用它，直到 Nvidia 停止支持为止。请注意，这可能比预期的要早。
