Public bug reported:
DGX Station with NVIDIA V100 is installing by default the open variant
of the nvidia drivers that is not compatible with this GPUs.
This leaves the machine unable to use the capabilities of the GPU
entirely. This was previously seen in Resolute SRU testing but it now
seems to impact other releases such as Jammy and Noble
Distro: Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy)
Kernel: 5.15.0-191-generic
ubuntu-drivers-common: 1:0.9.6.2~0.22.04.11
nvidia driver installed: nvidia-driver-595-server-open
Steps to reproduce:
```
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
sudo reboot
```
Workaround:
Do not let ubuntu-drivers decide automatically the recommended driver, instead
install with:
sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:580
Ubuntu Drivers output:
```
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/0000:06:10.0/0000:08:00.0
