CUDA toolkit 11.0 broken installation

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

Hello,

I just tried to upgrade to the latest CUDa toolkit 11.0 as instructed here → https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=sbsa&compilation=compilation_native&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=deblocal

Installation was partial with the following errors:

sudo apt-get -y install cuda

cuda is already the newest version (11.0.3-1).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cuda-drivers-450 : Depends: libnvidia-compute-450 (>= 450.51.06) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libnvidia-gl-450 (>= 450.51.06) but it is not going to be installed
 libnvidia-decode-450 : Depends: libnvidia-compute-450 (= 450.51.06-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

Now I have a broken package management (apt-get install whatever) throws this error:

Please provide informatin on how to fix my system

Those look like desktop PC architecture, and not the Jetson’s arm64 architecture. These should have refused to install to a Jetson. The version of CUDA which works with a given L4T/JetPack/SDKM release is tightly coupled to the operating system itself, and you should install only the version intended for that release. If you downloaded and forced one of those to install I’m going to recommend you flash and start over if you cannot remove those packages.

I’m not positive, but I do not think CUDA version 11 is available yet for Jetsons.

That is correct, CUDA 10.2 is the version shipping in the latest JetPack 4.4 production release.

It looks like @DamianD may have installed the SBSA packages (arm64 server). These are for arm64 servers using discrete GPUs, not Jetson. I would suggest re-flashing the system, or uninstalling the broken packages and re-installing nvidia-jetpack.
