There are two parts to the binary driver package: the driver itself (the kernel module - nvidia.ko) the various libraries needed to make things work. A free and open-source graphics device driver is a software stack which controls computer-graphics hardware and supports graphics-rendering application programming interfaces (APIs) and is released under a free and open-source software license. NVIDIA publishes source code, binary packages and USB drivers for developers and the Android open source community to use in development and to create custom OS images for SHIELD devices. Look below for links to relevant downloads.
I recently switched away from sgfxi
after the resulting driver was unable to run OpenGL applications and installed the packaged Debian Experimental (387.x) drivers instead. Unfortunately, they are showing the exact same error as the sgfxi
one (I think): Most applications at least complain about missing / bad OpenGL, and many refuse to start. In its most verbose form, it looks like this:
That is the (only) output from glxinfo
and other such utilities. Most other applications only have the two lines starting with libGL, some also something like 'Unrecognized OpenGL version'.
Now, Googling quickly results in the conclusion that this is because I'm using the wrong libGL.so.1
. Unfortunately, I don't really know how the graphics system works, so all I can do is provide you with a wide context and hope someone figures it out or asks the right questions.

This is the output of grep -iC5 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(the whole thing would make the post too long:
apt-file search libGL.so.1

Does anyone have the divination skills to tell me what the problem is?

Finally. Cost me a day by now, but the issue was that /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/{i386,x86_64}-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
pointed to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/{i386,x86_64}-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0
instead of /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/{i386,x86_64}-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.0.0
. I replaced the symlink, ran ldconfig
and everything appears to work again.
I'd be glad if someone could tell me what that actually means and why it happened, though.

I solved 'NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver' on my ASUS laptop with GTX 950m and Ubuntu 18.04 by disabling Secure Boot Control from BIOS.
I was getting the same error on my Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux 4.14 kernel) in Google Compute Engine with K80 GPU. I upgraded the kernel to 4.14 and boom the problem was solved. Here is how I upgraded my Linux kernel from 4.14 to 4.15:
You should see that your kernel has been upgraded and hopefully nvidia-smi should work.
Run the following to get the right NVIDIA driver :
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
Then pick the right and run:
sudo apt install
I am working with a AWS DeepAMI P2 instance and suddenly I found that Nvidia-driver command doesn't working and GPU is not found torch or tensorflow library. Then I have resolved the problem in the following way,
Run nvcc --version
if it doesn't work
WDDM 2.0 and Windows 10.; 2 minutes to read Contributors. In this article. This section provides details about new features and enhancements in Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 2.0, which is available starting with Windows 10. The Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) is available starting with Windows Vista and is required starting with Windows 8. This section discusses requirements, specifications, and behavior for WDDM drivers. Note Windows 2000 Display Driver Model (XDDM) and VGA drivers will not compile on. https://nforenperra1970.mystrikingly.com/blog/what-is-wddm-1-0-driver. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) is the graphic driver architecture for video card drivers running Microsoft Windows versions beginning with Windows Vista. [2] It is a replacement for the previous Windows 2000 and Windows XP display driver model XDDM/XPDM [3] and is aimed at enabling better performance graphics and new graphics functionality. Nov 21, 2009 What is 'DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver' and how do i get one? I'm not sure what this is.i have an old graphics card. From 2001 if thats what its referring to. I meet all the other requirements to run Windows 7 but that one. What do i need and where can i get it. What do i search for when shopping for it?
Then run the following
apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Step 1:Check the existing kernel of your Ubuntu Linux:
Step 2:
Ubuntu maintains a website for all the versions of kernel that have been released. At the time of this writing, the latest stable release of Ubuntu kernel is 4.15. If you go to this link: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15/, you will see several links for download.
Step 3:
Download the appropriate files based on the type of OS you have. For 64 bit, I would download the following deb files:
Step 4:
Install all the downloaded deb files:
Step 5:
Reboot your machine and check if the kernel has been updated by:

Installing Nvidia Binary Drivers Ubuntu
I am using Kubernetes on Google Cloud with tesla k-80 gpu.
Follow along this guide to ensure you installed everything correctly:https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/gpus
I was missing few important things:
- Installing NVIDIA GPU device drivers On your NODES. To do this use:
For COS node:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators/master/nvidia-driver-installer/cos/daemonset-preloaded.yaml
For UBUNTU node:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators/master/nvidia-driver-installer/ubuntu/daemonset-preloaded.yaml
Make sure an update was rolled to your nodes. Restart them if upgrades are off.
I use this image nvidia/cuda:10.1-base-ubuntu16.04 in my docker
You have to set gpu limit! This is the only way the node driver can communicate with the pod. In your yaml configuration add this under your container:
