Running Intro to Clara Train SDK fails in WSL 2

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA on Windows Subsystem for Linux

Hi,

I get the following error when running the setup script from here: https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/resources/nvidia:med:clara:getting_started/setup. I am trying to run in WSL 2.

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused “process_linux.go:449: container init caused "process_linux.go:432: running prestart hook 1 caused \"error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: mount error: file creation failed: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/86c5edf835c1e591da3cf94566d2461420c0e55e3a38bfd213e250e6267e9d48/merged/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcuda.so.1: file exists\\n\""”: unknown.

This command works: $ docker run --gpus all nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/cuda-sample:nbody nbody -gpu -benchmark

Output:

Windowed mode

Did anyone succeed with this ?

Despite updating to the latest driver, version of windows (20211) I am still unable to run the the intro to clara script on WSL 2. Can NVIDIA shed any light on this ?!

Commands such as: sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia --rm -itd --ipc=host --name w2l wav2letter/wav2letter:cuda-latest
Unable to find image ‘wav2letter/wav2letter:cuda-latest’ locally

Also fail on WSL 2, but

docker run --gpus all nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/cuda-sample:nbody nbody -gpu -benchmark

works.

I have the exact problem.
NVIDIA docs examples work perfectly

but my application gives: Cannot start service dynamic: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:449: container init caused \"process_linux.go:432: running prestart hook 1 caused \\\"error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: mount error: file creation failed: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/...blabla../merged/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcuda.so.1: file exists\\\\n\\\"\"": unknown

Hi, FYI one could modify image removiing or renaming duplicate lib as suggested in following to prevent error, but that doesn’t seem sufficient to make it actually work
