Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to install CUDA from quite a lot of days now and I am not successful yet. I need immediate help regarding this:
(Please do not answer with the link: Installation Guide Linux :: CUDA Toolkit Documentation … I have spent enough time trying to follow the run file installation)

GPU

What I have done so far:
-
I have newly installed Ubuntu 18.04 without NVIDIA drivers installed (trying to install drivers along with CUDA)
-
Downloaded run file: cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux
-
Disabled Nouveau drivers as given in the installation guide
-
Reboot into text mode (run level 3) using the command:
sudo init 3 -
Install run file :
sudo sh cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run
Driver Installation fails. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. I am not interested in alternative solutions such as: package manager installation or installing driver manually.
