When trying to run the nvidia-smi command you will receive the following error, This is a headless system that does cuda processing so there is no X. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run nvidia-smi from terminal 2. 3. Actual Results: NVIDIA-SMI couldn't find libnvidia-ml.so library in your system. Please make sure that the NVIDIA Display Driver is properly installed and present in your system. Please also try adding directory that contains libnvidia-ml.so to your system PATH.
