Hello, was wondering if anyone had an issue with installing cuda 12.4 on rhel 8.9. Been following the instructions here .(https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#pre-installation-actions) . Was able to run the rpm’s installer, but the gui did not come up after the reboot, I can access the terminal window still, attempt to target the graphic, and blacklisted previous drivers.
I don’t have a recipe for you, but the document you linked (for example in “Advanced setup”) has instructions that may be relevant. If your GUI/Display was being hosted by a non-NVIDIA GPU (which is entirely possible for example if you have a laptop, even though that laptop has a NVIDIA GPU in it), then a regular rpm install may have messed up that non-NVIDIA display driver stack. Also, I don’t know if RHEL 8.9 uses wayland or not, (seems that it does) but may want to look at the notes on wayland.
Hi Robert,
Yea I believe it might of been the cuda rpms that were run instead of the run file that may have caused the existing display drivers to be over written. However i believe the install did work i can see all the gpus being detected when running lspci | grep -i nvidia. it shows the preinstalled a4000 and the rtx 4500 that was installed. Would this still be the same outcome if I ran the .run file? Minus the working gui of course.
As for 8.9 I ran a fresh install on an existing system and was able to run the gnome in both x11/wayland, however during the install i just attempted to install with gui enabled
On section 3.2.1 of the doc there was also epel dependencies that I might of missed, going to try that
not sure what you are asking here. You can certainly get a runfile installation to recognize those GPUs. A fundamental principle is not to mix runfile driver installation with rpm driver install. Use one method or the other.
If you are asking about gui enablement/library installation, both the runfile method and the package manager method have capabilities to install (or not) the libraries in question. The runfile has switches to control this. They are documented in the same document, and you can also use command-line help with the runfile installer to look at switch options.
I’m having the same issue on RHEL. I install the nvidia driver for my rtx 4070 and reboot and then it gets stuck at the splash screen or a blank screen with cursor
