I have just installed Ubuntu 22.04. My Nvidia card is a Geforce GT 710. Nvidia libaries installed fine.

nvidia-smi output is

Its working fine.

On Ubuntu 20 I had the CUDA libraries (toolkit 11) installed and was able to compile tensorflow using docker.

I wish to do the same for 22.04. However when installing cuda using apt-get install cuda it wants to uninstall the 470 drivers for my card and install the 530 drivers and toolkit 12. So,

  1. Is this correct?
  2. Will my card still work?
  3. Is toolkit 12 suitable?

I have noted that there is a version of cudnn for toolkit 11 and downloaded, but not installed, the link
cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu2204-8.9.2.26_1.0-1_amd64.deb. If this is available, why can’t I find the link to the 11.x

Thanks for your help

If you want to use CUDA 11.x, remove any old packages and follow these instructions.

Or you can stick with CUDA 12.x (highly suggested) and use the cuDNN for CUDA 12.x locate here.

Thanks, will do.

A question. Does this cause the 530 driver to be installed? If so, I assume this is compatible with the GT 710?

Finally, I should have mentioned I’m using Lubuntu. Works very well on my old machine.
