I'm trying to install CUDA 4.2 on my Alienware Aurora desktop system. It's running Ubuntu 12.04, and Linux kernel 3.2.0-32 with an Nvidia GTX 690. I am able to install the CUDA SDK and display driver without issue. However, when Xorg starts, it dies with this error:
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 295.40, but the NVIDIA driver component has version 295.41. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.
The same thing happens when trying to run a CUDA application. Any thoughts? I have a lab of over a dozen other CUDA workstations which don't have this problem, but are also running Ubuntu 10.10.
In short: Ubuntu 12 is not yer supported distro.
If you still want to run cuda on usupported platform and expose yourself to other such problems see answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/13062766/56875

After installed cuda9.2 by run file, tried to run nvidia-smi, but it said no connection to nvidia gpu driver. Tried several ways to install nvidia gpu driver 390, all not successful.
Also tried using start script to create instance with cuda9.0, but cuda not installed. Manual install cuda9.0 also failed.
They said that GCP can only support gpu driver up to 384. Is the version updated? What is the best way to install nvidia driver and cuda. Which latest cuda version is supported? Thanks.
According to this article in the GCP documentation, the latest version supported is “NVIDIA 384.111 driver or greater” in Linux instances.
Your questions are answered in this article. The article has all the installation steps on how to install cuda and Nvidia drivers.
I have recently installed cuda 6.0 with a view of performance increment in windows 7 . the toolkit installer has display driver installer along with it and it installed display driver version named as 9.18.13.4062 . is this version mean 340.62???
Also it is mentioned that driver version 340.29 with cuda increases performance according to this link
does 340.xx series have the same performance ?? I couldnot get the version 340.29 driver. where can i download it from???
340.62 is the Windows GPU driver that ships with the CUDA 6.5 (windows) installer.
340.29 is the Linux GPU driver that ships with the CUDA 6.5 (linux) installer.
The link you have provided is referring to linux. 340.62 and 340.29 should be comparable, as much as "comparable" can be stated about a windows platform vs. a linux platform
Regarding the performance in the article linked, CUDA 6.5 (i.e. not just the driver) has significant performance increases in various libraries and in the compiler as well.
To get an idea of these performance increases, there is a webinar you can attend tomorrow (wednesday, September 17th) by following the link here.
While trying to install CUDA 5.5 on my windows 8.1 laptop NVidia Geforce GT 740M, I got the following error: I have also installed VS 2012 professional.
the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. you may continue installation but you will not be able to run CUDA applications.
thanks
Install the latest driver for your GPU from nvidia.com. Then install CUDA 6 (or CUDA 5.5), while deselecting the option to install the driver.
The driver that was included as part of the CUDA 5.5 install package is too old for your GPU.
I get the following error when trying to use a GTX 750 Ti with CUDA 5.5 in Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit:
The driver installation is unable to locate the kernel source. Please make sure that the kernel source packages are installed and set up correctly. If you know that the kernel source packages are installed and set up correctly, you may pass the location of the kernel source ith the --kernel-source-path flag.
How do I fix this error?
The GeForce GTX 750 Ti is based on NVIDIA's new Maxwell architecture (compute capability 5.0) and requires CUDA 6.0.
The CUDA SDK is not related to your hardware if you got a problem of with a driver you might go on nvidia.com and find the right driver for your card. On their web site, there's an automatic setup. You just have to download what's noticed/
I get the error -
cutilCheckMsg() CUTIL CUDA error : Kernel execution failed
: CUDA version is insufficient for CUDART version.
when I run the sample code. The code however builds successfully
Details of the environment Im running the program -
Windows XP with NO NVIDIA driver
Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition
Cuda toolkit, sdk 3.0
Emulation mode
Here is a similar question asked on SO before but in that case the person had NVIDIA card. I do not have NVIDIA card on my machine. - CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
Please suggest a solution
Currently the only way to run CUDA code without a GPU is to use CUDA x86 from PGI. Emulation mode was dropped from CUDA several versions ago (current version is CUDA 4.2).
