I'm trying to run Pytorch on a laptop that I have. It's an older model but it does have an Nvidia graphics card. I realize it is probably not going to be sufficient for real machine learning but I am trying to do it so I can learn the process of getting CUDA installed.
I have followed the steps on the installation guide for Ubuntu 18.04 (my specific distribution is Xubuntu).
My graphics card is a GeForce 845M, verified by lspci | grep nvidia:
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce 845M] (rev a2)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fbc (rev a1)
I also have gcc 7.5 installed, verified by gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0
Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO

And I have the correct headers installed, verified by trying to install them with sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r):
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-4.15.0-106-generic is already the newest version (4.15.0-106.107).
I then followed the installation instructions using a local .deb for version 10.1.
Now, when I run nvidia-smi, I get:

I then performed the post-installation instructions from section 6.1, and so as a result, echo $PATH looks like this:

and my /etc/udev/rules.d/40-vm-hotadd.rules file looks like this:

But after all of this, this Python snippet (in a conda environment with all dependencies installed):

Does anybody have any idea about how to resolve this? I've tried to add /usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin to etc/environment like this:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin
And restarting the terminal, but that didn't fix it. I really don't know what else to try.

PyTorch doesn't use the system's CUDA library. When you install PyTorch using the precompiled binaries using either pip or conda it is shipped with a copy of the specified version of the CUDA library which is installed locally. In fact, you don't even need to install CUDA on your system to use PyTorch with CUDA support.
There are two scenarios which could have caused your issue.
You installed the CPU only version of PyTorch. In this case PyTorch wasn't compiled with CUDA support so it didn't support CUDA.
You installed the CUDA 10.2 version of PyTorch. In this case the problem is that your graphics card currently uses the 418.87 drivers, which only support up to CUDA 10.1. The two potential fixes in this case would be to either install updated drivers (version >= 440.33 according to Table 2) or to install a version of PyTorch compiled against CUDA 10.1.
To determine the appropriate command to use when installing PyTorch you can use the handy widget in the "Install PyTorch" section at pytorch.org. Just select the appropriate operating system, package manager, and CUDA version then run the recommended command.
In your case one solution was to use
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.1 -c pytorch
which explicitly specifies to conda that you want to install the version of PyTorch compiled against CUDA 10.1.
For more information about PyTorch CUDA compatibility with respect drivers and hardware see this answer.
Edit After you added the output of collect_env we can see that the problem was that you had the CUDA 10.2 version of PyTorch installed. Based on that an alternative solution would have been to update the graphics driver as elaborated in item 2 and the linked answer.
TL; DR
Install NVIDIA Toolkit provided by Canonical or NVIDIA third-party PPA.
Reboot your workstation.
Create a clean Python virtual environment (or reinstall all CUDA dependent packages).
Description
First install NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit provided by Canonical:
sudo apt install -y nvidia-cuda-toolkit
or follow NVIDIA developers instructions:
# ENVARS ADDED **ONLY FOR READABILITY**
NVIDIA_CUDA_PPA=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/
NVIDIA_CUDA_PREFERENCES=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu2004.pin
NVIDIA_CUDA_PUBKEY=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
# Add NVIDIA Developers 3rd-Party PPA
sudo wget ${NVIDIA_CUDA_PREFERENCES} -O /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia-cuda
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys ${NVIDIA_CUDA_PUBKEY}
echo "deb ${NVIDIA_CUDA_PPA} /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-cuda.list
# Install development tools
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y cuda
then reboot the OS load the kernel with the NVIDIA drivers
Create an environment using your favorite manager (conda, venv, etc)
conda create -n stack-overflow pytorch torchvision
conda activate stack-overflow
or reinstall pytorch and torchvision into the existing one:
conda activate stack-overflow
conda install --force-reinstall pytorch torchvision
otherwise NVIDIA CUDA C/C++ bindings may not be correctly detected.
Finally ensure CUDA is correctly detected:
(stack-overflow)$ python3 -c 'import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())'
True
Versions
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit v11.6
Ubuntu LTS 20.04.x
Ubuntu LTS 22.04 (prior official release)
In my case, just restarting my machine made the GPU active again. The initial message I got was that the GPU is currently in use by another application. But when I looked at nvidia-smi, there was nothing that I saw. So, no changes to dependencies, and it just started working again.
Another possible scenario is that environment variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES is not set correctly before installing PyTorch.
In my case it worked to do as follows:
remove the CUDA drivers
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
Then get the exact installation script of the drivers based on your distro and system from the link: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux
In my case it was dabian on x64 so I did:
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian11/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb
sudo add-apt-repository contrib
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
And now nvidia-smi works as intended!
I hope that helps
If your CUDA version does not match what PyTorch expects, you will see this issue.
On Arch / Manjaro:
Get Pytorch from here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
Note what CUDA version you are getting PyTorch for
Get the same CUDA version from here: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/c/cuda/
Install CUDA using (e.g.) sudo pacman -U --noconfirm cuda-11.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Do not update to a newer version of CUDA than PyTorch expects. If PyTorch wants 11.6 and you have updated to 11.7, you will get the error message.
Make sure that os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0' is set after if __name__ == "__main__":. So your code should look like this:
import torch
import os
if __name__ == "__main__":
os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0'
print(torch.cuda.is_available()) // true

I am trying to use keras in tensorflow to train a CNN network for some image classification. Obviously, the training running on my CPU is incredibly slow and so I need to use my GPU to do the training. I've found many similar questions on StackOverflow, none of which have helped me get the GPU to work, hence I am asking this question separately.
I've got an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB and the 466.47 NVIDIA driver installed. I've installed the CUDA toolkit from the NVIDIA website (installation is confirmed with nvcc -V command outputting my version 11.3), and downloaded the CUDNN library. I unzipped the CUDNN file and copied the files to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3, as stated on the NVIDIA website. Finally, I've checked that it's on PATH (C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3\bin and C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.3\libnvvp are both in the environment variable 'Path').
I then set up an environment using conda, downloading some packages that I need, like scikit-learn, as well as tensorflow-gpu=2.3 After booting my environment into Jupyter Notebook, I run this code to check to see if it's picking up the GPU:
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
print(tf.config.list_physical_devices())
And get this:
2.3.0
[PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:CPU:0', device_type='CPU')]
I have tried literally everything I have come into contact with on this topic, but am not getting any success in getting it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
You, first, have to install all CUDA requirements. If you have Ubuntu 20.04, here is how you can install the requirements. Then it's the right time to install tensorflow. Asa you intended to utilize your GPU, you have install tensorflow-gpu library, not tensorflow alone.
I'm guessing you have installed TensorFlow correctly using pip install tensorflow.
NVIDIA GPU cards with CUDA architectures 3.5, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 and higher than 8.0 are currently supported by TensorFlow. If you have the supported cards but TensorFlow cannot detect your GPU, you have to install the following software:
NVIDIA GPU drivers —CUDA 11.0 requires 450.x or higher.
CUDA Toolkit —TensorFlow supports CUDA 11 (TensorFlow >= 2.4.0)
cuDNN SDK 8.0.4
You can optionally install TensorRT 6.0 to improve latency and throughput for inference on some models.
For more info, please refer to the TensorFlow documentation: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu
I recommend to use conda to install the CUDA Toolkit packages as well as CUDNN, which will avoid wasting time downloading the right packages (or making changes in the system folders)
conda install -c conda-forge cudatoolkit=11.0 cudnn=8.1
Then you can install keras and tensorflow-gpu by typing
conda install keras==2.7
pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.7
and it will work directly.
Based on this issue
I tried following steps at: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
First I created a conda environment as:
conda create -n facenet37_2 python=3.7
Then on above site I selected:
PyTorch Build: Stable (1.4)
OS: Linux (I am using Ubuntu 18.04)
Package: conda
Language: python
CUDA: 10.1
and it asked me to run following command:
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.1 -c pytorch
But after that when I opened python and typed:
import torch
torch.cuda.is_available()
I get False
I have GeForce GT 630M (computeCapability: 2.1). But it is not getting detected. Why? Is it too old and no longer supported? How can I fix the issue?
Edit: Why did I get a negative vote?
The GeForce GT 630M has compute capability 2.1 and therefore only supports up to CUDA 8.
PyTorch binaries dropped support for compute capability <= 5.0 in PyTorch 0.3.1. It's not clear to me if compute capability 2.1 was ever included in the binaries.
The PyTorch codebase dropped CUDA 8 support in PyTorch 1.1.0.
Due to the second point there's no way short of changing the PyTorch codebase to make your GPU work with the latest version. Your options are:
Install PyTorch without GPU support.
Try compiling PyTorch < 1.1.0 from source (instructions). Make sure to checkout the v1.0.1 tag. This will produce a binary with support for your compute capability.
If acceptable you could try installing a really old version: PyTorch < 0.3.1 using conda or a wheel and see if that works. It may have compute capability 2.1 support though I can't verify this. See pytorch.org for information. Though it looks like the link to https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu80/torch_stable.html is broken.
Your GPU architecture is Fermi. Last CUDA version with support for Fermi is 8.0 and you have installed 10.1
The possible solution might be to install older CUDA and PyTorch version.
conda install pytorch==1.0.0 torchvision==0.2.1 cuda80 -c pytorch
I've tried tensorflow on both cuda 7.5 and 8.0, w/o cudnn (my GPU is old, cudnn doesn't support it).
When I execute device_lib.list_local_devices(), there is no gpu in the output. Theano sees my gpu, and works fine with it, and examples in /usr/share/cuda/samples work fine as well.
I installed tensorflow through pip install. Is my gpu too old for tf to support it? gtx 460
I came across this same issue in jupyter notebooks. This could be an easy fix.
$ pip uninstall tensorflow
$ pip install tensorflow-gpu
You can check if it worked with:
tf.test.gpu_device_name()
Update 2020
It seems like tensorflow 2.0+ comes with gpu capabilities therefore
pip install tensorflow should be enough
Summary:
check if tensorflow sees your GPU (optional)
check if your videocard can work with tensorflow (optional)
find versions of CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN SDK, compatible with your tf version

check if your card can work with tensorflow (optional)
my PC: GeForce GTX 1060 notebook (driver version - 419.35), windows 10, jupyter notebook
tensorflow needs Compute Capability 3.5 or higher. (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu#hardware_requirements)
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
select "CUDA-Enabled GeForce Products"
result - "GeForce GTX 1060 Compute Capability = 6.1"
my card can work with tf!
find versions of CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN SDK, that you need
a) find your tf version
import sys
print (sys.version)
# 3.6.4 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Jan 16 2018, 10:22:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
# my output was => 1.13.1
b) find right versions of CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN SDK for your tf version
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#linux
* it is written for linux, but worked in my case
see, that tensorflow_gpu-1.13.1 needs: CUDA Toolkit v10.0, cuDNN SDK v7.4
install CUDA Toolkit
a) install CUDA Toolkit 10.0
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive
select: CUDA Toolkit 10.0 and download base installer (2 GB)
installation settings: select only CUDA
(my installation path was: D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development)
b) add environment variables:
system variables / path must have:
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\bin
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\libnvvp
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\extras\CUPTI\libx64
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\Cuda_v_10_0\Development\include
install cuDNN SDK
a) download cuDNN SDK v7.4
https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive (needs registration, but it is simple)
select "Download cuDNN v7.4.2 (Dec 14, 2018), for CUDA 10.0"
b) add path to 'bin' folder into "environment variables / system variables / path":
D:\Programs\x64\Nvidia\cudnn_for_cuda_10_0\bin
pip uninstall tensorflow
pip install tensorflow-gpu
check if tensorflow sees your GPU
- restart your PC
- print(get_available_devices())
- # now this code should return => ['/device:CPU:0', '/device:GPU:0']
If you are using conda, you might have installed the cpu version of the tensorflow. Check package list (conda list) of the environment to see if this is the case . If so, remove the package by using conda remove tensorflow and install keras-gpu instead (conda install -c anaconda keras-gpu. This will install everything you need to run your machine learning codes in GPU. Cheers!
P.S. You should check first if you have installed the drivers correctly using nvidia-smi. By default, this is not in your PATH so you might as well need to add the folder to your path. The .exe file can be found at C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI
When I look up your GPU, I see that it only supports CUDA Compute Capability 2.1. (Can be checked through https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) Unfortunately, TensorFlow needs a GPU with minimum CUDA Compute Capability 3.0.
https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup#optional_install_cuda_gpus_on_linux
You might see some logs from TensorFlow checking your GPU, but ultimately the library will avoid using an unsupported GPU.
The following worked for me, hp laptop. I have a Cuda Compute capability
(version) 3.0 compatible Nvidia card. Windows 7.
pip3.6.exe uninstall tensorflow-gpu
pip3.6.exe uninstall tensorflow-gpu
pip3.6.exe install tensorflow-gpu
I had a problem because I didn't specify the version of Tensorflow so my version was 2.11. After many hours I found that my problem is described in install guide:
Caution: TensorFlow 2.10 was the last TensorFlow release that supported GPU on native-Windows. Starting with TensorFlow 2.11, you will need to install TensorFlow in WSL2, or install tensorflow-cpu and, optionally, try the TensorFlow-DirectML-Plugin
Before that, I read most of the answers to this and similar questions. I followed #AndrewPt answer. I already had installed CUDA but updated the version just in case, installed cudNN, and restarted the computer.
The easiest solution for me was to downgrade to 2.10 (you can try different options mentioned in the install guide). I first uninstalled all of these packages (probably it's not necessary, but I didn't want to see how pip messed up versions at 2 am):
pip uninstall keras
pip uninstall tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem
pip uninstall tensorflow-estimator
pip uninstall tensorflow
pip uninstall Keras-Preprocessing
pip uninstall tensorflow-intel
because I wanted only packages required for the old version, and I didn't do it for all required packages for 2.11 version. After that I installed tensorflow 2.10:
pip install tensorflow<2.11
and it worked.
I used this code to check if GPU is visible:
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))
So as of 2022-04, the tensorflow package contains both CPU and GPU builds. To install a GPU build, search to see what's available:
λ conda search tensorflow
Loading channels: done
# Name Version Build Channel
tensorflow 0.12.1 py35_1 conda-forge
tensorflow 0.12.1 py35_2 conda-forge

tensorflow 2.6.0 mkl_py38hdc16138_0 pkgs/main
tensorflow 2.6.0 mkl_py39h31650da_0 pkgs/main
You can see that there are builds of TF 2.6.0 that support Python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9, and that are built for MKL (Intel CPU), Eigen, or GPU.
To narrow it down, you can use wildcards in the search. This will find any Tensorflow 2.x version that is built for GPU, for instance:
λ conda search tensorflow=2*=gpu*

As you can see, if you install a GPU build, it will automatically also install compatible cudatoolkit and cudnn packages. You don't need to manually check versions for compatibility, or manually download several gigabytes from Nvidia's website, or register as a developer, as it says in other answers or on the official website.
After installation, confirm that it worked and it sees the GPU by running:
λ python
Python 3.9.12 (main, Apr 4 2022, 05:22:27) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.__version__
'2.6.0'
>>> tf.config.list_physical_devices()
[PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:CPU:0', device_type='CPU'), PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:GPU:0', device_type='GPU')]
Getting conda to install a GPU build and other packages you want to use is another story, however, because there are a lot of package incompatibilities for me. I think the best you can do is specify the installation criteria using wildcards and cross your fingers.
This tries to install any TF 2.x version that's built for GPU and that has dependencies compatible with Spyder and matplotlib's dependencies, for instance:
λ conda install tensorflow=2*=gpu* spyder matplotlib
For me, this ended up installing a two year old GPU version of tensorflow:
matplotlib pkgs/main/win-64::matplotlib-3.5.1-py37haa95532_1
spyder pkgs/main/win-64::spyder-5.1.5-py37haa95532_1
tensorflow pkgs/main/win-64::tensorflow-2.1.0-gpu_py37h7db9008_0
I had previously been using the tensorflow-gpu package, but that doesn't work anymore. conda typically grinds forever trying to find compatible packages to install, and even when it's installed, it doesn't actually install a gpu build of tensorflow or the CUDA dependencies:

I have had an issue where I needed the latest TensorFlow (2.8.0 at the time of writing) with GPU support running in a conda environment. The problem was that it was not available via conda. What I did was
conda install cudatoolkit==11.2
pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.8.0
Although I've cheched that the cuda toolkit version was compatible with the tensorflow version, it was still returning an error, where libcudart.so.11.0 was not found. As a result, GPUs were not visible. The remedy was to set environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to your anaconda3/envs/<your_tensorflow_environment>/lib with this command
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/<user>/anaconda3/envs/<your_tensorflow_environment>/lib
Unless you make it permanent, you will need to create this variable every time you start a terminal prior to a session (jupyter notebook). It can be conveniently automated by following this procedure from conda's official website.
In my case, I had a working tensorflow-gpu version 1.14 but suddenly it stopped working. I fixed the problem using:
pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu==1.14
pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.14
I experienced the same problem on my Windows OS. I followed tensorflow's instructions on installing CUDA, cudnn, etc., and tried the suggestions in the answers above - with no success.
What solved my issue was to update my GPU drivers. You can update them via:
Pressing windows-button + r
Entering devmgmt.msc
Right-Clicking on "Display adapters" and clicking on the "Properties" option
Going to the "Driver" tab and selecting "Updating Driver".
Finally, click on "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Restart your machine and run the following check again:
from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
local_device_protos = device_lib.list_local_devices()
[x.name for x in local_device_protos]

It seems that Google Colab GPU's doesn't come with CUDA Toolkit, how can I install CUDA in Google Colab GPU's. I am getting this error in installing mxnet in Google Colab.
Installing collected packages: mxnet
Successfully installed mxnet-1.2.0
ERROR: Incomplete installation for leveraging GPUs for computations.
Please make sure you have CUDA installed and run the following line in
your terminal and try again:
pip uninstall -y mxnet && pip install mxnet-cu90==1.1.0
Adjust 'cu90' depending on your CUDA version ('cu75' and 'cu80' are
also available).
You can also disable GPU usage altogether by invoking turicreate.config.set_num_gpus(0).
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.
SystemExit: 1
Cuda is not showing on your notebook because you have not enabled GPU in Colab.
The Google Colab comes with both options GPU or without GPU.
You can enable or disable GPU in runtime settings
Go to Menu > Runtime > Change runtime.
Change hardware acceleration to GPU.
To check if GPU is running or not, run the following command
!nvidia-smi
If the output is like the following image it means your GPU and cuda are working. You can see the CUDA version also.
After that to check if PyTorch is capable of using GPU, run the following code.
import torch
torch.cuda.is_available()
# Output would be True if Pytorch is using GPU otherwise it would be False.
To check if TensorFlow is capable of using GPU, run the following code.
import tensorflow as tf
tf.test.gpu_device_name()
# Standard output is '/device:GPU:0'
I pretty much believe that Google Colab has Cuda pre-installed... You can make sure by opening a new notebook and type !nvcc --version which would return the installed Cuda version.
Here is mine:
Go here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
Select Linux -> x86_64 -> Ubuntu -> 16.04 -> deb (local)
Copy link from the download button.
Now you have to compose the sequence of commands. First one will be the call to wget that will download CUDA installer from the link you saved on step 3
There will be installation instruction under "Base installer" section. Copy them as well, but remove sudo from all the lines.
Preface each line with commands with !, insert into a cell and run
For me the command sequence was the following:
!wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.2/Prod/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-9-2-local_9.2.88-1_amd64 -O cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-9-2-local_9.2.88-1_amd64.deb
!dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-9-2-local_9.2.88-1_amd64.deb
!apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-9-2-local/7fa2af80.pub
!apt-get update
!apt-get install cuda
Now finally install mxnet. As cuda version I installed above is 9.2 I had to slighly change your command: !pip install mxnet-cu92
Successfully installed graphviz-0.8.3 mxnet-cu92-1.2.0
If you switch to using GPU then CUDA will be available on your VM. Basically what you need to do is to match MXNet's version with installed CUDA version.
Here's what I used to install MXNet on Colab:
First check the CUDA version
!cat /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/external/local_config_cuda/cuda/cuda/cuda_config.h |\
grep TF_CUDA_VERSION
For me it outputted #define TF_CUDA_VERSION "8.0"
Then I installed MXNet with
!pip install mxnet-cu80
I think the easiest way here is to install mxnet-cu80. Just use the following code:
!pip install mxnet-cu80
import mxnet as mx
And you could check whether it works by:
a = mx.nd.ones((2, 3), mx.gpu())
b = a * 2 + 1
b.asnumpy()
I think colab right now just support cu80 and higher versions won't work.
For more information, you could see the following two websites:

This solution worked for me in November, 2022. Query the version of Ubuntu that Colab is running on (run in notebook using ! or in terminal without):
!lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Query the current cuda version in Colab (only for comparision):
!nvcc --version
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

Cuda compilation tools, release 11.2, V11.2.152
Build cuda_11.2.r11.2/compiler.29618528_0
Next, got to the cuda toolkit archive or latest builds and configure the desired cuda version and os version. The Distribution is Ubuntu.
Copy the installation instructions:
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu1804.pin
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu1804.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-7-local_11.7.0-515.43.04-1_amd64.deb
sudo cp /var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-7-local/cuda-*-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
Change the last line to include your cuda-version e.g., apt-get -y install cuda-11-7. Otherwise a more recent version might be installed.
!wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu1804.pin
!mv cuda-ubuntu1804.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600

!cp /var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-7-local/cuda-*-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
!apt-get update
!apt-get -y install cuda-11-7
Your cuda version will now be updated:
nvcc --version

To run in Colab, you need CUDA 8 (mxnet 1.1.0 for cuda 9+ is broken). But Google Colab runs now 9.2. There is, however the way to uninstall 9.2, install 8.0 and then install mxnet 1.1.0 cu80.

I'm having trouble getting Theano to use the GPU on my machine.
When I run:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/theano/misc$ THEANO_FLAGS=floatX=float32,device=gpu python check_blas.py
WARNING (theano.sandbox.cuda): CUDA is installed, but device gpu is not available (error: Unable to get the number of gpus available: no CUDA-capable device is detected)
I've also checked that the NVIDIA driver is installed with: lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA -A 12
with result: Kernel driver in use: nvidia
However, when I run: nvidia-smi
result: NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory).
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with NVIDIA driver. Make sure that latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
and /dev/nvidiaactl doesn't exist. What's going on?

CUDA GPUs in a linux system are not usable until certain "device files" have been properly established.
There is a note to this effect in the documentation.
In general there are several ways these device files can be established:
If an X-server is running.
If a GPU activity is initiated as root user (such as running nvidia-smi, or any CUDA app.)
Via startup scripts (refer to the documentation linked above for an example).
If none of these steps are taken, the GPUs will not be functional for non-root users. Note that the files do not persist through re-boots, and must be re-established on each boot cycle, through one of the 3 above methods. If you use method 2, and reboot, the GPUs will not be available until you use method 2 again.
I suggest reading the linux getting started guide entirely (linked above), if you are having trouble setting up a linux system for CUDA GPU usage.
If you are using CUDA 7.5, make sure follow official instruction:
CUDA 7.5 doesn't support the default g++ version. Install an supported version and make it the default.
sudo apt-get install g++-4.9
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 20

I've wasted a lot of hours trying to get AWS G2 to work on ubuntu but failed by getting exact error like you did. Currently I'm running Theano with gpu smoothly with this redhat AMI. To install Theano on Redhat follow the process of Installing Theano in CentOS in Theano documentation.
Had the same problem and reinstalled Cuda and at the end it says i have to update PATH to include /usr/local/cuda7.0/bin and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/cuda7.0/lib64. The PATH (add LD_LIBRARY_PATH in same file) can be found in /etc/environment. Then theano found gpu. Basic error on my part...
I got
-> CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
and my problem is related with the selected GPU mode.
In other words, the problem may be related to the selected GPU mode (Performance/Power Saving Mode), when you select (with nvidia-settings utility, in the "PRIME Profiles" configurations) the integrated Intel GPU and you execute the deviceQuery script... you get this error:
But this error is misleading,
by selecting back the NVIDIA(Performance mode) with nvidia-settings utility the problem disappears.
This is not a version problem.
