Hallo Thomas, thank you for your kind reply.
> I wonder what the problems are. Do you have some excerpt from the logs? I use this installation guide and try to make it into a script: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/ Amongst other approaches I have tried the runfile installation like so: > chroot /target apt install -y make linux-headers-$(uname -r) > chroot /target wget -nc > https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/12.6.2/local_installers/cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03_linux.run > chroot /target sh cuda_12.6.2_560.35.03_linux.run --driver --toolkit This usually hangs because it wants to uninstall nouveau drivers and asks for permission via a graphical interface. Is this even the right way to approach this task? How do you do it, it sounded like you approach was a little bit different perhaps? Bonus question: Is there a good way to autmatically figure out whether the machine can even use CUDA/nvidia drivers? So I don't have to sort machines by hardware in the class file. Many thanks and kind regards, Stephan -----Original Message----- From: Thomas <la...@cs.uni-koeln.de> To: fully <linux-fai@uni-koeln.de> Date: Thursday, 24 October 2024 2:06 PM CEST Subject: Re: Installing CUDA with FAI Hi, I have created several versions of the nfsroot including new nvidia drivers and CUDA libraries, because we needed the newest drivers for new hardware. Often I used a mixture of packages from testing and experimental. I've also created a nfsroot using the drivers and CUDA libs from nvidia itself. -- regards Thomas
