PROBLEM STATEMENT: Installed CUDA 10.0 from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.0-download-archive and then following the instructions from https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/10.0/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html . In terminal, this is what happens >>>nvidia-smi NVIDIA-SMI has failed be…

Hey @generix , so I’ve just done it the “correct” way with inspiration from you! Basically, it seems that my RTX 2080 doesn’t like the old nvidia-drivers-410 from CUDA 10.0. So what I did is the following steps: Install CUDA10.1 from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads wget https://dev…

install the driver from repo/ppa (sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430) download the cuda .deb add the repo to your system (first three steps from install instructions on download page) don’t install cuda instead, run sudo apt install cuda-toolkit-10-0

I had a similar problem to the OP. When I run ‘sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430’ I get the following: nvidia-driver-430 is already the newest version (430.26-0ubuntu0.18.04.2). You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: lib…

Purge and reinstall? sudo apt purge “nvidia-*” sudo apt autoremove

Running 'sudo apt purge “nvidia-*” gives the same error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libnvidia-ifr1-430 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-430 but it is not going to be installed libnvidia-ifr1-430:i386 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-430:i386 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet depende…

Then also try purging those sudo apt purge “nvidia-" "libnvidia-”

@CGG try sudo apt-get --purge remove "*cublas*" "cuda*" sudo apt-get --purge remove "*nvidia*"

Thanks. All those suggestions leave me with the same problem of unmet dependencies that aren’t fixed by running ‘sudo apt --fix-broken install’. So I went back to the installation instructions and tried this: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) That also gave the same unmet dependencie…

What’s the output if you install libnvidia-gl-430 manually? e.g. sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430 libnvidia-gl-430

Same: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done nvidia-driver-430 is already the newest version (430.26-0ubuntu0.18.04.2). You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libnvi…

Just to follow up, if I again run ‘sudo apt --fix-broken install’ I still get the same errors: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer requir…

install the driver from repo/ppa (sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430)
download the cuda .deb
add the repo to your system (first three steps from install instructions on download page)
don’t install cuda
instead, run sudo apt install cuda-toolkit-10-0
