CUDA requires gcc6, use update-alternatives to maintain both gcc7 and gcc6 as explained here.

NVIDIA CUDA TOOLKIT REQUIRED TO USE VIDEO CARD INSTALL

How can I install CUDA to work correctly with my older nvidia driver so I can conduct some GPU computations? Is there a list someplace that lists the what CUDA toolkits go with each NVIDIA driver? I suspect I need an older toolkit, I just don't know which one. In order to run a CUDA application, the system should have a CUDA enabled GPU and an NVIDIA display driver that is compatible with the CUDA Toolkit that was used to build the application itself. In the Additional Drivers tab in software & updates select the NVIDIA proprietary driver (390 for CUDA 9) sudo apt update & sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit, or install it from the ubuntu software center. Step 1 - Install NVIDIA Drivers and CUDA Toolkit.

In this guide well deal with the drivers for both video cards and show how to switch between them. The Linux Getting Started Manual says I should just need to install CUDA with apt-get but I need an older driver for my graphics card. The NVIDIA CUDA installer will be directed to install files under /opt/cuda as much as possible to keep its contents isolated from the rest of the Clear Linux OS files under /usr. Most modern computers come with an integrated video card in the CPU (iGPU, like an Intel Graphic Card or AMD in most cases) and a dedicated video card (dGPU, Nvidia). I have verified that the nvidia-346 is the problem by specifically installing it as opposed to nvidia-current. Naturally, I thought I could then install cuda with: sudo apt-get install cudaīut this tries to install nvidia-346 on my system causing my system to no longer display my desktop and the installation is incorrect. Sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (this installs nvidia-304 in my case)Īfter rebooting, a quick query shows that my kernel is indeed using nvidia successfully lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA -A 12Ġ1:00.0 VGA compatible controller : NVIDIA Corporation GT218 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 ) This can speed up rendering because modern GPUs are designed to do quite a lot of number crunching. I have tried to complete the installation successfully but have stumbled upon a problem. GPU rendering makes it possible to use your graphics card for rendering, instead of the CPU. I have been provided an older NVIDIA graphics card (GeForce 8400 GS) to begin exploring some GPU computing.
