Hiccups setting up WSL2 + CUDA

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA on Windows Subsystem for Linux

hi lefnire,

  1. Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend is not supported yet with GPUs. You will have to install Docker as you would traditionally in Linux for WSL 2 and then install NVIDIA Container Toolkit (or nvidia-docker2) for now.
  2. nvidia-container-toolkit and nvidia-docker2 in the end are just wrappers. There is a slight variation depending on which version of Docker you use (19.03 vs. 18.09), but if you chose to install nvidia-docker2, then that works across both releases of Docker. I’ll look into making that more clear in the documentation.
  3. nvidia-smi does not work because we don’t support NVML in WSL 2 yet - this is part of the Known Limitations in the user-guide. We will be adding support for it in the near future.
