Public bug reported: [Impact]
Users of the Nvidia CUDA libraries using Hirsute, Groovy, or Focal are unable to install and/or upgrade to version 460.73 of the CUDA libraries. This is because the new libraries have a versioned hard dependency on nvidia-modprobe 460.73 and nvidia-settings 460.73. This is impacting data scientists and AI learning customers, which are target customers of the Kubuntu Focus laptops produced by MindShareManagement [Test Case] * Add the Nvidia CUDA repositories below: echo 'deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 / deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 / ' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-cuda.list sudo apt-get update * Ensure nvidia and libnvidia files come from the Ubuntu repository: echo 'Package: nvidia-* libnvidia-* xserver-xorg-* Pin: release l=NVIDIA CUDA Pin-Priority: -1' |sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia-libs.conf sudo apt-get update * Install nvidia-driver-460 from the Ubuntu repository: sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-460 * Confirm that almost all Nvidia driver packages are set to the same version (460.73.01) except for nvidia-settings and nvidia-modprobe: dpkg --list |grep nvidia |grep ^ii |awk '{print $3"\t" $2}' |sort -n * Attempt to install the CUDA package from Nvidia sudo apt-get install cuda-drivers-460 * The drivers will not install due to a version mismatch as show below: sudo apt-get install cuda-drivers-460 ...
