How to install Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 410
How to install Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 410
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1077061/how-do-i-install-nvidia-and-cuda-drivers-into-ubuntu
Ubuntu 18.04, CUDA 10.0 and NVIDIA 410 drivers:
NOTE: CUDA 9.x is not available through NVIDIA's ubuntu1804 repo.
These instructions are for installing CUDA through the repository instead of the .deb installation.
The following lines you can copy and paste to a terminal window. Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window.
Remove any CUDA PPAs that may be setup and also remove the nvidia-cuda-toolkit if installed:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda*
sudo apt remove nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Recommended to also remove all NVIDIA drivers before installing new drivers:
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
Then update the system:
sudo apt update
Install the key:
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
Add the repo:
sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list'
Update the system again:
sudo apt update
If you only want the NVIDIA 410 driver run, if not, skip this step:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-410
Install CUDA 10.0.
sudo apt install cuda-10-0
It should be installing the nvidia-410 drivers with it as those are what are listed in the repo. See: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/
Add the following lines to your ~/.profile file for CUDA 10.0
# set PATH for cuda 10.0 installation
if [ -d "/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin/" ]; then
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
fi
Reboot the computer and check your settings when reboot is complete:
Check NVIDIA Cuda Compiler with nvcc --version:
