Cuda runfile won't extract

I downloaded the CUDA runfile cuda_13.0.2_580.95.05_linux.run validated the hash and tried to execute it.

./build/cuda.run

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
Extraction failed.
Ensure there is enough space in /tmp and that the installation package is not corrupt
Signal caught, cleaning up

The folder is not out of space. When it fails, theres 24Gb left, and the error seems to be a problem with the gzip stored inside the runfile.

Ideas?

I have also found that this happens on cuda_12.9.1_575.57.08_linux.run as well. Is this unique to Ubuntu 25.10?

I also have same problem

Hi, did you find any solution? I have the same problem using CUDA 13.1 and getting so much frustrated… I tried to enlarge the /tmp FS to 55G or using a –tmpdir (more than 500G free on /) but no success
Thanks

No, I also have issues with older versions of CUDA. This may be a ubuntu 25.10 issue. I don’t have a way to validate it on older ubuntu ATM.

The issue is that Ubuntu 25.10 uses rust-coreutils and seems to have issues with the very basic dd utility.

In the Spack package manager we explicitly add GNU coreutils as a dependency now: Add dependencies to CUDA package by RMeli · Pull Request #3515 · spack/spack-packages · GitHub, so you can spack install cuda
