# To fix it I had first to remove all drivers installed before using:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove

# Now install the nvidia-driver (following 2 dependencies first)
sudo apt install libnvidia-common-470
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-470
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

# Finally reboot the machine
sudo reboot

nvidia-smi	# It should work now
