no CUDA-capable device is available

Hi,

I succesfully installed cuda toolkit and compiled cuda SDK but when I run “~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/bin/linux/release/scan”, I get this message :

cudaSafeCall() Runtime API error in file <scan.cu>, line 100 : no CUDA-capable device is available.

I’m on ubuntu 9.10 with nVidia 190.42 driver from VDPAU Team PPA (Nvidia Vdpau Team PPA : “Nvidia Vdpau Team” team)

Any idea?

Thanks!

Please be sure that you have writes to interact with graphics card. give rights to your user to read and write to Graphics Card.

Good Luck External Media

That is ls -l /dev/nvidia*

should discover at least two devices (nvidia0 and nvidiactl)

and your user id should have (rw) write access to them

even though they may be owned by root
