I’m new in linux and I intend to use CUDA. I followed the instructions on [url]https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/9.0/[/url]. After installing my nvidia gpu which is GEFORCE 820M, nvidia-340 to be specific. I installed CUDA 9.0.xx next and extracted and compiled with the sample. I tried to run ./deviceQuery and resulted in:
./deviceQuery Starting…
CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)
cudaGetDeviceCount returned 35
→ CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
Result = FAIL
Checking:
$ lspci -v | grep -i nvidia

I would appreciate all of help that I can help since I’m have trouble with it in 3 weeks and have reinstalled my Ubuntu 10x now.
Thanks a lot.
