WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04) NVidia Notes.md

wsl2_nvidia.md

Need to uninstall the baked in nvidia drives and install nvidia drivers from the run file:

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=WSL-Ubuntu&target_version=2.0&target_type=runfile_local

• Don't install the driver (that'll be wsl passthru), just everything else

Install cublas? After my install of the runfile i didn't actually have this installed, so had to do it manually.

sudo apt install libcublas11

Fix WSL2 (need to run this each time you start wsl2)

pushd .
cd /usr/lib/wsl/lib
sudo rm libcuda.so libcuda.so.1
sudo ln -s libcuda.so.1.1 libcuda.so.1
sudo ln -s libcuda.so.1 libcuda.so
sudo ldconfig
popd

Install docker (wsl2 doesn't have systemd, so will need to start docker when you start wsl2)

curl https://get.docker.com | sh \
  && sudo systemctl --now enable docker

Install NVidia Docker

distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) \
      && curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg \

            sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | \
            sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker
sudo systemctl restart docker
sudo docker run --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
# If nvcc and build tools are needed, use nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-devel-ubuntu22.04

Optional

# Fix screen on wsl by adding this to .bashrc:
if [ ! -d "/run/screen" ]; then
    sudo mkdir -p /run/screen
    sudo chmod 777 /run/screen
