Before command nvidia-smi error 'value is not valid'

[hhalim]

Before command setting is producing an error for the nvidia-smi command:

[2017-12-31 17:44:56]: Running before command: sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1 
[2017-12-31 17:45:18]: Provided [-pm | --persistence-mode=] value is not a valid or is out of range: 1 . Please run 'nvidia-smi -h' for help. 
[2017-12-31 17:45:17]: Running before command: sudo nvidia-smi -pl 110 
[2017-12-31 17:45:11]: Provided [-pl | --power-limit=] value is not a valid or is out of range: 110 . Please run 'nvidia-smi -h' for help. 

Running nvidia-smi manually in bash shell does not produce the error. Sudo nvidia-smi also set up correctly to not require password.

Before command settings:

sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 110

sleep 10

export DISPLAY=:0 && nvidia-settings -a 'GPUPowerMizerMode=1'
export DISPLAY=:0 && nvidia-settings -a 'GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=100'
export DISPLAY=:0 && nvidia-settings -a 'GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1260'

The nvidia-settings works fine.
OS: Ubuntu Linux 16.04

Hi
Any progress on this issue? I have the same behaviour (work in terminal but error in EthControl)
Running before command: sh -c "sudo nvidia-smi -i 4 -pl 200" [2018-04-29 16:29:04]: Provided [-pl | --power-limit=] value is not a valid or is out of range: 200 . Please run 'nvidia-smi -h' for help.

Are you using an embedded nvidia-smi? or your perform any check? because nvidia-smi -pl behaviour seems to be different on Linux and Windows : on windows it's a % on Linux it is the value W value
