Problem installing cuda 9.1 on Ubuntu 16.04

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
#1

I recently installed cuda 9.1 on my PC with GTX 1080 Ti and running Ubuntu 16.04

Upon installation, when i ran deviceQuery I’m encountering following error:

./deviceQuery Starting…

CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 35
-> CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
Result = FAIL

I tried to find the driver version and the runtime version separately.
I got:
CUDA Driver Version / Runtime Version 9.0 / 0.0

nvidi-smi shows the following:

Kindly assist me on how to proceed. Do let me know if any further information is required.

The problem appears to be that CUDA 9.1 requires the NVIDIA 387.26 driver. This is unfortunate for me because I have to use bumblebee on my NVIDIA Optimus laptop and the latest driver in that repo is 384.98. When installing from the CUDA repo I got these messages:

Error:

You can download the driver directly from NVidia, but I had to search for drivers for a newer card than mine (I just searched for NVidia Titan V drivers at www.geforce.com ). It does list my card(s) as supported devices, but the driver does not show up if I select my card(s).

I don’t use Ubuntu, but there does seem to be a version for Ubuntu 16.04. I have no idea how hard it will be to install.

Meanwhile, I need to see about using the unmanaged bumblebee repo for Fedora to try to install the proper driver.

Hope this helps.

Yes, CUDA 9.1 requires a r387 driver.

follow the instructions in the linux install guide. Get your installers from:

http://www.nvidia.com/getcuda

#4 
An incomplete installation of libglvnd was found. Do you want to install a full copy of libglvnd? This will overwrite any existing libglvnd libraries

Is what happens when I use the install guide
Tried apt-get approach, but it still shows:
