Hi, this is actually a re-post of an original post I’ve written on the GeForce forums. I’ve been told to come here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/820047/geforce-700-600-series/gtx760-cuda-issue-quot-error-only-0-devices-available-1-requested-quot-/

I’ve run the ‘nvidia-bug-report.sh’ and it reads:"

Hi,

I’m trying to run a code similar to the nbody NVidia’s example. I’m getting the error “Error: only 0 Devices available, 1 requested. Exiting.”, which causes a seg fault.

The output of the execution:

./nbody Clouda_config.conf
is

nbody.cpp::showHelp() empty for now.
Error: only 0 Devices available, 1 requested. Exiting.

Hardware:
CPU is I7-2600K
Video card is MSI GTX 760 driver 304.125

OS is Arch Linux: 3.18.6-1-ARCH

GCC version is 4.9.2 20150304 (prerelease)
root version 5.34/24
nvcc is version release 6.5, V6.5.16
I’m using KDE Version 4.14.6

I’ve already posted on [SOLVED] NVidia/CUDA error : "0 Devices available" / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums

What I don’t get is that the deviceID is set to 0 explicitly in the code. Maybe I got a file or link missing ?

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks

Please attach log generated by running nvidia-bug-report.sh script as root user. I think ArchLinux is not supported OS for cuda sdk, Is this issue occur on supported distros?

Also please provide sample code, compilation and execution method to reproduce this issue internally to verify.

Ok, I’ve resolved the issue: I was using the “nvidia-304xx” legacy branch drivers from the Extra repositories. The version of these was 304.125.
I now have the “nvidia” 346.47 drivers (from the Extra repositories too) and I don’t have problems anymore ! So I only needed an up-to-date driver.

Still, thanks for the help sandipt.
