Ubuntu 20.04, Nvidia-smi stuck on prompt

tm flag

I installed nvidia-driver-525(open kernel,proprietary) through the additional driver section in software & update. While checking whether the gpu is running on not i ran nvidia-smi which gets stuck on the prompt. I am unable to exit it, have to close the terminal itself. After few minutes of uptime the device started to lag and memory usage increased. So I checked processes in htop in the next boot and saw multiple command running nvidia-smi -i 0 --query-gpu=memory.total,memory.used,<etc> which has D written with it uninterruptible sleep process I think. I tried installing other drivers 470,510,515. The laptop wont even boot up after that infact sometimes I am not even able to switch to tty. I tried searching for multiple fixes on the internet and was unable to find any. I can only boot up with either purging the installed nvidia-drivers or with the nvidia-driver-525.

On the boot up few error messages also flash up: [drm:nv_drm_load [nvidia-drm]] failed to allocate NvKmsKap1Device [drm:nv_drm_probe_devices nvidia-drm] failed to register device. My device is Asus zephyrus g14 2020,gpu running ubuntu 20.04, kernel: 5.15.0-56-generic.

I am not sure what logs I should add, kindly let me know I will update the thread with those logs.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
