Cuda Runtime version is insufficent for CUDA runtime version. All of my versions match!

Hi, im trying to install CUDA for using Tensrflow.

 ./deviceQuery 
bash: ./deviceQuery: No such file or directory

The thing is when I open Python on my tensorflow conda env and try initializing a tensorflow session i get the CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version. This is the tenth time I try this install, I made sure everything is just ritght and I’m clueless about this.

Thanks

you should probably build the deviceQuery sample code before trying to run it. Follow the instructions in the linux install guide to verify your CUDA install.

If that passes, it may be that your conda install is pulling in a different version of cuda toolkit

Another possibility is that you installed the GPU driver from an incorrect source (such as an ubuntu source, instead of a NVIDIA installer/source)

Well I certainly did install my nvidia driver from ubuntu software&updates because every time i try to install from nvidia web I end up messing up the whole system. Anyway i compiled deviceQuery and this is the result

./deviceQuery Starting…

Result = PASS

and I still get the same problem.
