RuntimeError: CUDA error: no kernel image is available for execution on the device

I tried using synaptics and managed to remove the packages but ./deviceQuery is still showing cuda 10.0 instead of 11.0

Below is the output to dpkg -l |grep cuda

Did you reboot?

Looking at deviceQuery output

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

can you do a rebuild of deviceQuery, since it’s statically linked.

Hello,

I tried doing make clean to allow me to rebuild the binaries.
After that, when I try make again, I get the following error

/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin/nvcc -ccbin g++ -I../../common/inc  -m64    -gencode arch=compute_30,code=sm_30 -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35 -gencode arch=compute_37,code=sm_37 -gencode arch=compute_50,code=sm_50 -gencode arch=compute_52,code=sm_52 -gencode arch=compute_60,code=sm_60 -gencode arch=compute_61,code=sm_61 -gencode arch=compute_70,code=sm_70 -gencode arch=compute_75,code=sm_75 -gencode arch=compute_75,code=compute_75 -o deviceQuery.o -c deviceQuery.cpp
make: /usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin/nvcc: Command not found
Makefile:288: recipe for target 'deviceQuery.o' failed
make: *** [deviceQuery.o] Error 127

It seems to be looking for something in the cuda-10.0 directory, which no longer exists cause I uninstalled cuda 10.0

Is there a configure script? You should run that again before doing the make.

Hello,
I’m quite new to all this so I’m not too sure what you mean by the configure script.
In the directory where the deviceQuery makefile is, there are only the following files:
image

Also, in the Makefile, the first line has

# Location of the CUDA Toolkit                                                                       
CUDA_PATH ?= /usr/local/cuda-11.0

so I’m not too sure why its looking in cuda-10.0 in the first place

Maybe CUDA_PATH is set in your env?
export |grep CUDA
