Bad checksum for Cuda 8.0 for Ubuntu 14.04

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
#1

Seems the most methods of installing Cuda 8.0 for Ubuntu 14.04 are failing:

ubuntu@host:~$ md5sum cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
407b939b35a887044653337db99b1338 cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb

compared to the published checksum:

a4b9657a8ee026e0c97270b2d4174a8a cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb

The Ubuntu 16.04 deb has the correct checksum however:

ubuntu@host:~$ md5sum cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
d735c7fed8be0e72fa853f65042d5438 cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb

d735c7fed8be0e72fa853f65042d5438 cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb

Is it possible the 14.04 release of Cuda 8.0 has a bad build at the moment?

#2

Same issue here. In addition to the deb, the .run file is not matching the published checksum either, e.g.:

downloaded file:
416979dd6df6fe601d99facd0cfe2874 cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run

published:
33e1bd980e91af4e55f3ef835c103f9b cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run

Oh thank god, I thought I was going mad. I’m getting exactly the same as MichaelVeth above, and have spent 6 hours repeatedly downloading it because I thought there must be an error.

The .run file appears to be the same for either 16.04 or 14.04. Both crash with:

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data–format violated
Extraction failed.
Ensure there is enough space in /tmp and that the installation package is not corrupt
Signal caught, cleaning up

#4

Same issue here.

Getting the same checksum results from md5sum of the downloaded 14.04 .deb and .run files as you guys are. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

#5

Hi all.
Same problem for me 14hours ago!
I was becoming mad with that… Thanks for your posts!

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. -> +1

#6

I downloaded the run file 5 times in total trying to troubleshoot every possible thing that could be wrong with my Ubuntu.

I get exactly the same hash as michaelveth. Glad to know this problem is from Nvidia side lol a slight relief!

#7

seven ours later… the issue remains.

#8

Does anyone know of an nVidia email address (or PM?) where we can draw their attention to this? Presumably it’s just a matter of reuploading the files, which shouldn’t be too much to ask, even on a weekend…

#9

Same problem here with the checksums and it’s affecting all possible methods to get cuda for ubuntu 14.04, using the provided checksums by https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/docs/sidebar/md5sum-txt i get the following:

The .run file

-From NVIDIA:
33e1bd980e91af4e55f3ef835c103f9b cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run
-Downloaded file:
416979dd6df6fe601d99facd0cfe2874 cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run

The .deb (local) package

-From NVIDIA:
a4b9657a8ee026e0c97270b2d4174a8a cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
-Downloaded file:
407b939b35a887044653337db99b1338 cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb

The .deb (network) method

-After adding the repo and executing:

# apt-get install cuda

-Throws:

Get:1 http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/  cuda-visual-tools-8-0 8.0.61-1 [286 MB]

E: Failed to fetch http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/./cuda-visual-tools-8-0_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb  Hash Sum mismatch

I think it is worth mentioning that this problem is also afecting the embedded developer program, since we cannot install the JetPack software/utilities without cuda and the Jetpack installer’s method to get cuda is the last one from above.

#10

Thanks for reporting this, and apologies for the inconvenience!

We’re investigating and will update this thread as soon as we have a resolution.

A couple of our key people are out right now, so we’re trying to track down folks who can help over the weekend.

#11

Unfortunately, it occurs just now about cuda-visual-tools-8-0_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
in http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/.

After downloading it , I tried to install that, dpkg complains “unexpected end of file or stream”.

I hope it will be fixed soon…

#12

I am observing the same error for the .run installer for cuda 8.0 on Ubuntu 16.04:

ubuntuHost:~/Downloads$ sudo sh ./cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data–format violated
Extraction failed.
Ensure there is enough space in /tmp and that the installation package is not corrupt
Signal caught, cleaning up

I hope the installer for 16.04 will also be fixed soon.

#13

I’m also in trouble with the same problem with my ubuntu with 16.04 version.
Please fix it.

$ sudo sh cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data–format violated
Extraction failed.
Ensure there is enough space in /tmp and that the installation package is not corrupt
Signal caught, cleaning up

#14

Uggggg Nvidia please fix the issue. Exact same problem

#15

Note: the opensuse 13.2 version has the same problem.

Accepting packages with wrong checksums can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.
#16

I also face the same problem, bad checksum. I have to download the cuda toolkit achieve to temporarily avoid the problem

#17

Would you care to elaborate? What exactly did/do you download, and how did/does that solve the problem?

Thanks.

#18

I think he might mean the CUDA Toolkit Archive:


which has a slightly older version available. I haven’t tried it because I want the version which matches my current drivers, but if it works for you…

#19

I’ve tried it (7.5) and it didn’t work for me.

#20

I just installed CUDA 7.5 from repo (package manager) and had no trouble with it on Ubuntu 14.04
