2.3.0
Operating System
Ubuntu 22.04 - Docker
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 - Host system
Topic Description
Detailed Description
I am trying to install SDK Manager via Docker/Apptainer and before the installation begins, SDK Manager prompts to enter the sudo password for nvidia. In the Docker installation section on the website, it is mentioned that the user is nvidia and the password is also nvidia but when I try to enter nvidia as the password, it says “sudo validation command failed”, and prompts me to enter the password again (suggesting that it is a wrong password?). How can I proceed with the installation?
I am working on an HPC with no root/sudo access.
— EDIT —
I opened the /etc/shadow file and I confirmed that the password is indeed nvidia. Nonetheless, I still get the same error message. I even tried to eliminate the password altogether from /etc/shadow and I still get prompted to enter the password with the same error message.
