Sorry to clog up this thread, but when I did a reinstall of the nvidia-96 driver, I noticed this error message. Does it provide a clue?
Setting up nvidia-96 (96.43.20-0ubuntu1~athome1) ... update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/nvidia-96/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf (gl_conf) in auto mode. update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-smi.1.gz because associated file /usr/share/man/man1/alt-nvidia-96-smi.1.gz (of link group gl_conf) doesn't exist. update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/bin/nvidia-smi because associated file /usr/lib/nvidia-96/bin/nvidia-smi (of link group gl_conf) doesn't exist.
