Titan XP not detected as egpu on ubuntu 18.04

I’m trying to connect a Titan XP to my laptop running ubuntu 18.04. My goal is to have 2 gpus available in a docker-compose/k8s cluster because I need to run a setup that includes 2 containers that require GPU/CUDA.

I connected the egpu via usb-c, updated my nvidia drivers to 418, and rebooted, but when I run nvidia-smi I don’t see the second gpu.

Are there any step-by-step instructions for getting a set up like this to work on ubuntu 18.04?

Here’s the output from nvidia-smi (it sees my internal 1070 but not the egpu):

I also ran nvidia-bug-report.sh, but doesn’t seem like I can attach files here? I uploaded the output to google drive here:

Any help with this greatly appreciated.
