![]() In a terminal use nvidia-smi, it should not find a gpu (unless you have multiple…) and give some error message In the xserver desktop go to nvidia-settings-gui and change the PRIME Profile to “Intel (Power Saving Mode)” In a terminal use nvidia-smi to check the gpu is recognized correctly, note the memory consumption of up to 400MB just for the xserver GUI. so maybe easier for linux-inexperienced folks. This uses no runfiles or compiliation but works with everything “out of the box” / apt packages etc. Hi, I also have a working setup, which seems to differ from the methods shown here, so for completeness here it is (just posted this as an answer in another thread, then thought this might be worth a topic on its own, just to find it existed already -). I can now also see the card changing down to power mode P5 or P8 when idling, being much more energy conserving. Then activate service: sudo chmod u+x /lib/systemd/system/rvice I do this at system startup using this config:Ĭreate file sudo vi /lib/systemd/system/rviceĮxecStopPost=/bin/rm -rf /var/run/nvidia-persistenced In order to fix this, the card must be brought into the correct power mode P2 using the nvidia-persistenced service. My assumption is that the card is set into a proper power state when using the X server, which doesn’t seem to happen otherwise. I saw the same kind of behaviour when using the apt-get based driver installation the moment I blacklisted the nvidia driver. Even when idling, the card would draw lots of power.After that, you could only recover to a useful CUDA mode by rebooting the machine occasionally, executing any kind of CUDA command (including nvidia-smi) would freeze that process.Having the card in this power mode had two consequences: According to my research, this mode is not available on my GTX 1080 TI when running in CUDA mode. Here’s one more thing that might be important: In my setup, the nvidia card defaulted to power mode P0 (check with nvidia-smi). This works for both Ubuntu 18.04 and Mint 19.3 though.Glad I could help. I haven’t been able to get CUDA toolkit 10.2 to work yet, maybe because I already had a broken Ubuntu install and too many failed attempts to install the nvidia driver and CUDA. Driver nvidia 435.21 is known to work with CUDA toolkit 10.1 update 1. Just install the CUDA toolkit, samples and documentation. Download the CUDA 10.1 toolkit run file, and run it and deselect the driver from the install options. Settle on the latest nvidia driver and reboot, check it with nvidia-smi. SO make sure you have all nvidia and cuda packages uninstalled to begin with. Especially if the kernel or anything to do with graphics is updated. I found updating the system with sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade to be very problematic. ![]() You may need to set CUDA_ROOT/–cuda-root and/or the CUDA includes directory for some software, for example compiling pycuda if pip install pycuda fails.ĭon’t upgrade anything after installing Ubuntu or Linux Mint 19.3. (Make sure /usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin is on your path so nvcc can be found, put /usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64 in /etc/ld.so.conf and run sudo ldconfig). I also went ahead and compiled all the samples in the CUDA toolkit. Once I ran the and had the menu, I unchecked the driver (version 418.xx, older than the current driver) and installed. I had no idea if it was expecting CUDA 10.1, but I downloaded that runfile instead of CUDA 10.2. I checked nvidia-smi to make sure it loaded and worked OK, and it actually said CUDA 10.1 on there. It should say NVIDIA 435.21 at this time (April 2020, for Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic and derivative distributions).Īfter I switched to the latest nvidia driver I rebooted. Go to driver manager and select the Nvidia driver, the latest one available. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppaĪnd update. To successfully install CUDA, I switched to the latest available NVIDIA driver available with the distro. I struggled for a while with CUDA 10.2, and eventually gave up, and installed Linux Mint 19.3 which is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, so much the same. I have an Acer Nitro 5 laptop with a GTX 1050 card. I have spend a lot of time trying it in different ways, and the installations failure. : Executing NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.33.01.run -ui=none -no-questions -accept-license -disable-nouveau -no-cc-version-check -install-libglvnd 2>&1 See log at /var/log/cuda-installer.log for details. │ Do you accept the above EULA?
