GPU not supported in Linux

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

GPU not supported in Linux

Post by nada391 »

Hello ,

am having trouble getting the GPU supportedi n Ubuntu 24.04.'2 LTS

have previously installed via NVIDA-570.run file , but resulted in "unsupported".

now have installed the driver via

https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server ... a-drivers/

Code: Select all

sudo ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu

and this has resulted in CUDA being recognized shortly, but after reboot, the whole triade is still shown "unsupported" (Opencl, Cuda, HIP).

Code: Select all

no, just the drivers that got "auto-installed".

cannot seem to find the package needed on ubuntu server

Code: Select all

sudo apt install openc
opencamlib-doc            opencl-headers            opencpn
opencc                    openclipart               opencpn-data
opencfu                   openclipart-libreoffice   opencryptoki
openchrome-tool           openclipart-png           openctm-doc
opencity                  openclipart-svg           openctm-tools
opencity-data             openclonk                 opencu
opencl-1.2-html-doc       openclonk-data            opencubicplayer
opencl-1.2-man-doc        opencollada-dev           opencubicplayer-doc
opencl-c-headers          opencollada-tools         opencv-data
opencl-clhpp-headers      opencolorio-tools         opencv-doc
opencl-clhpp-headers-doc  openconnect               

there is no "icd-loader" neither.
however, also CUDA should get enabled.

I don't do Nvidia, so not sure of exact package name, but Ubuntu does have it for sure.

Try the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
A reboot won't hurt and sometimes doing so can solve a problem when drivers are involved.

Also, in the future, always install the nvidia drivers via Software Sources > Additional drivers

thanks,
it wouldn't make a difference;

since it is ubuntu-server, thought auto-install is the proper way, there won't be GUI, so it not feasible what you propose via software>additional.

these are the options provided if manual selecction instead

Code: Select all

nvidia-driver-570-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-open-generic)
nvidia-driver-535, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-generic)
nvidia-driver-535-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-open-generic)
nvidia-driver-570-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-generic)
nvidia-driver-535-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-open-generic)
nvidia-driver-550-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-open-generic)
nvidia-driver-535-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-535-server-generic)
nvidia-driver-470, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic)
nvidia-driver-550, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-550-generic)
nvidia-driver-470-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-server-generic)
nvidia-driver-570-server-open, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-server-open-generic)
nvidia-driver-570, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-570-generic)
maybe should try again via Nvidia-570.run + ocl-icd-opencl-dev

You want '570-open', see GPU not Folding

have installed then
sudo ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu nvidia:570-server-open
pluse the packages you suggested
sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev nvidia-cuda-dev
but there is no luck today with this

Code: Select all

nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
do i need to blacklist nouveau or something, or is "570-open" better choice?

Code: Select all

sudo ubuntu-drivers list

EDIT: switched to 570-open , now folding, thanks!
please mark solved.
