Graphics drivers not mapping to WSL 2 Ubuntu

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA on Windows Subsystem for Linux

I followed this guide: 1. NVIDIA GPU Accelerated Computing on WSL 2 — CUDA on WSL 12.3 documentation

But I can’t seem to get the graphics drivers on my host machine (Windows 11) to map to WSL.

cat /proc/version returns: Linux version 5.15.133.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (root@1c602f52c2e4) (gcc (GCC) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37) #1 SMP Thu Oct 5 21:02:42 UTC 2023

I’ve checked that /dev/dxg exists and all the necessary files also exist in C:\Windows\System32\lxss\lib on my host machine, but there is no /usr/lib/wsl directory in WSL, even after restarting WSL, restarting host machine, and reinstalling graphics drivers on host.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

What graphics card do you have and what happens when you run nvidia-smi?
