I have followed the installation steps described in this link using the package manager installation method for Ubuntu 16.04

  • I have a GeForce GTX 960M
  • gcc --version returns: gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 5.4.0 20160609
  • I have run sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) as the guide suggests
  • Downloaded the base installer from here
  • I was not able to verify the md5sum because the downloaded version is not listed on this webpage
  • I already have the nvidia 396.54 drivers installed and running, this is the output of the command nvidia-smi: nvidia-smi output
  • I navigate in the terminal to the dir where I downloaded the deb file (Downloads) and then run

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-9-2-local_9.2.148-1_amd64.deb

I think I followed all instructions very closely, I am not sure what the problem is.

  • Does anything not run -- nvcc, the graphics samples,...? Those instructions are older than the CUDA 9.2 package you installed. – ubfan1 Nov 14 '18 at 00:56
  • Well the installation never took place because the package was not found, so nvcc obviously does not run. The instructions (in the first link) are the official ones for CUDA 9.2.148 which is the version I am trying to install (CUDA 10 is not yet compatible with Pytorch) – Pedro Piacenza Nov 14 '18 at 13:45
  • Ok, so I fixed this following the instructions from this post – Pedro Piacenza Nov 14 '18 at 16:00
