You won’t find any NVIDIA references suggesting install from ppa, AFAIK.Īh, I see, I was still trying to follow the original documentation. Get your installers from (only drivers) or (full CUDA toolkit installers, including drivers)įor CUDA, follow published install instructions: Instead, follow published instructions by NVIDIA. (and there may be other differences as well)įor CUDA usage, I recommend that people not install their drivers from ppa. The maintainers of that repository may have deleted that executable from their install package. Unfortunately, the ppa repository is not maintained by NVIDIA. If you install a NVIDIA GPU driver using a repository that is maintained by NVIDIA, you will always get the nvidia-smi utility with any recent driver install. Nvidia-smi is not mandatory for basic driver operation (obviously - it is an informational utility). It cannot/does not get installed in any other installation step. The nvidia-smi utility normally gets installed in the driver install step.
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_390, nvidia_390_drmĠ4:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E220x Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics ControllerĠ1:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204M (rev a1) Some additional info: lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'Ġ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) I thought either the driver or the CUDA toolkit would install nvidia-smi. It complains that I have an unsupported configuration (CUDA 9.1 seems to support driver version 387), but I think I can ignore that. I’ve then installed the CUDA 9.1 toolkit from the NVIDIA download link. I’m not sure where I should expect nvidia-smi to be installed in the process. Currently I get nvidia-smi: command not found. The drivers seem to be installed, however I normally check things like this by using nvidia-smi. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa I’m trying this process: sudo apt purge nvidia-* I’m trying to get an Nvidia 970M working on a Linux Mint 18 laptop.
