Can the appropriate version of Cuda for the Nvidia driver be found in Mx Repo?

[scintillascientia]

Cuda is possible to install from debian repo:

Code: Select all

# apt install nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit

However, the cuda version is 11.8 → See https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libcudart11.0

The nvidia driver installed from the MX Linux script is version 525.125.06.

Nvidia say's for >=525.60.13 is CUDA 12.x defined. See https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-com ... index.html

And this also comes when I enter

Code: Select all

nvidia-smi

in the terminal:

Code: Select all

So this also say one should download cuda version 12, and it would be nice if that version is installed via the MX Repo.

Right now i downloaded it from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-12-0- ... =deb_local

Hello,

Yeah. I'm waiting for the 545 nvidia driver's, too. Blender currently complains that I don't have a compatible NVIDIA device, for GPU-renders.

My laptop has an RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile with 8 GB GDDR6. I would have thought that's compatible. Am I wrong?

What feature does the 545 driver offer that the 525 driver doesn't?

Now it is even beta 550.x.xx

if you use

Code: Select all

sudo ddm-mx -N -i nvidia

you will be offerred to pull from the nvidia developer repo.

I'm gonna caution here that I don't know how they will go on the 6.1.0-18 kernel debian recently sent out. I know debian's package doesn't build, and I have not tried the nvidia developer repo drivers on anything other than ahs or liquorix kernels.

THK, I did'n known this -N option (no man ddm-mx) ;-)

OK ... good idea. (still missing, a man ddm-mx) ;-)
