I downloaded the runfile (local) for ubuntu 20.04 from Nvidia Developer site as shown Nvida Local runfile

enter image description here

Then followed the instructions to run the program:

sudo sh cuda_11.3.0_465.19.01_linux.run

The installation failed: here is the error in /var/log/cuda-installer.log :

[INFO]: Driver installation detected by command: apt list --installed | grep -e nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9] -e nvidia-[0-9][0-9][0-9]

There are no further indications of what failed or instructions of what to do. What can/should be done next to move forward?

Besides the CUDA log file, there is also a driver log file, which will be created typically at /var/log/nvidia-installer.log .

The CUDA installer calls the driver installer, which writes log of the driver installation in that file, so when the driver installer fails, you may get more details about the error from there.

By the way, in my case, the driver installer failed because the X server was running. Stopping the X server before the driver installation fixed the problem for me.

Check /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for all details.

In my case, secure boot was enabled so it stopped installation.

The kernel module failed to load. Secure boot is enabled on this system, so this is likely because it was not signed by a key that is trusted by the kernel. Please try installing the driver again, and sign the kernel module when prompted to do so.

Use this link to install with secure boot.
