Sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit error

Hi, my nvcc --version worked before. But after some github install from 3rd party, the nvcc does not work anymore… sudo apt-get install libnvcuvid1 does not work neither. >_<
Is there any solution? Thx

My nvidia-smi works though.

Package libnvcuvid1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libnvcuvid1' has no installation candidate

I have fixed it with

conda install -c "nvidia/label/cuda-11.7.0" cuda-toolkit

Cheers

Thanks for sharing the solution!

Can we please get a proper fix for this issue from nVidia? Thanks.

We are definitely seeing this everywhere. So many people reported it. nVidia, do we have a fix for it please?

I uninstalled everything (as per instructions on this site) and reinstalled the driver using the instructions above and it is working fine now.
