every time I try to do nvidia-smi it takes a long time for it to show up; it turns out there should be persistence mode enabled one easy way is to just call nvidia-smi pm -1. But this does not enable it for boot.

How can I make it work on boot? I tried to run sudo nvidia-persistenced but it's the following to syslog:

 kernel: [  949.165626] NVRM: Persistence mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use nvidia-persistenced instead.
