Mar 27, 2022

I had many driver installed I my virtual machine , so It was actually the reason why I was having the error.

To fix it I had first to remove all driver I have installed before using :

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get autoremove

After that I when a head and installed the latest version of it nvidia driver:

I did :

apt search nvidia-driver 

To get the latest version of the driver After getting the latest version I installed it with :
Edit Sept 2021 : According to the last comment by @a-r-j you can install a couple of dependencies before

sudo apt install libnvidia-common-470
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-470

Then you can move forward and install the driver.

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

And after installing it I rebooted my machine and checked with :

nvidia-smi
