Checking driver working: 

# nvidia-smi -L
GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (UUID: GPU-2540b2eb-4c6f-af9e-fb7e-2c57bad19d42)
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (UUID: GPU-5300c8e3-2159-d0fe-12ee-4284b5186813)
GPU 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (UUID: GPU-6b968817-5333-4e98-dc78-1666da7f3704)

Checking library: 

# ldconfig -p | grep libnvidia-ml
        libnvidia-ml.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1

Fix: 

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so
sudo ldconfig

Re-check after fix: 

# ldconfig -p | grep libnvidia-ml
        libnvidia-ml.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1
