Hi,
I have a GeForce RTX 3080Ti and running Ubuntu 20.04. I was trying to run some code using pytorch (installed within pipenv compiled with cuda 11.7). My system cuda version was 10 and the code complained about the version mismatch. So, being in a hurry and really needing the code (depending specifically on that particular pytorch version apparently, idk) I decided to upgrade cuda to 11.7.
I followed the official installation guidelines, made sure I performed all steps required, but the installation simply didn’t work. I uninstalled (again following the official webpage) and reinstalled multiple times, even versions up to 12.1 (at this point I just want SOMETHING to work), and always got failure.
The last commands of the installation guides
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
always finish with:
Setting up nvidia-dkms-530 (530.30.02-0ubuntu1) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
A modprobe blacklist file has been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau
from loading. This can be reverted by deleting the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
A new initrd image has also been created. To revert, please regenerate your
initrd by running the following command after deleting the modprobe.d file:
`/usr/sbin/initramfs -u`

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And this is the same whether I try to “install cuda” or specify the version and eg. “install cuda-12-1”.
If I try just installing the driver first (“dkms status” returns “nvidia, 530.30.02: added” ) I get same errors, and the same with apt --fix-broken install and sudo dpkg --configure -a.
I am at a complete loss of what to do; I’ve tried at least a dozen different solutions for similar issues across the internet and nothing works. I really desperately need my gpu to work with python, so I just need A version of CUDA up and running; I’ll take anything <=12.1 at this point (I’ll figure out what to do with the old inherited pytorch code with the specific dependencies later).
Please help
