This does not seem to be supported on (unpatched?) 5.4 kernels per this
thread I found:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2106512#p2106512
Downloading and running "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.103.01.run" directly
also fails, UNLESS the following options is used:
--no-peermem
Do not install the nvidia-peermem kernel module. This kernel module
provides support for peer-to-peer memory sharing with Mellanox HCAs (Host
Channel Adapters) via GPUDirect RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access).
BUT only when the Nvidia installer did NOT dry to register into DMKS,
because otherwise it got:

So it seems that attempts to install the driver:
* either via the Ubuntu package, or
* via the Nvidia shell installer
fail when it tries to install via DKMS, because DKMS does not (has not
way?) to tell the build infrastructure to not build "peermem" sub-
module.
Doing a "bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.103.01.run --no-peermem" and NOT
hooking it into DKMS allows for the driver to be built.

So it seems that attempts to install the driver:
* either via the Ubuntu package, or
* via the Nvidia shell installer
fail when it tries to install via DKMS, because DKMS does not (has not
way?) to tell the build infrastructure to not build "peermem" sub-
module.
Doing a "bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.103.01.run --no-peermem" and NOT
hooking it into DKMS allows for the driver to be built.
