nvidia-smi has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the nvidia driver. make sure that the latest nvidia driver is installed and running
After baidu for many times, Google found a variety of methods are unable to solve, what the kernel version is wrong ah and so on. Then I wondered how it could work after installing the driver. I was about to deploy the project and then I died. It turned out to be because I had a problem installing Cuda10.0.

After reinstallation, sure enough, the driver should display normally:
Of course, we encountered this mistake will not necessarily be my problem, may use the Internet to solve those methods. To provide a reference, see that there is no network similar to my same error cause, so record it
