Fahcontrol says Cuda not detected

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Fahcontrol says Cuda not detected

Post by Darth_Peter_dualxeon »

I have all the drivers installed, GPU is folding, but I see something weird in the "System info" of FahControl, it is missing cuda even if I installed that.

Code: Select all

OS: Linux 5.3.0-53-generic x86 64
CUDA: Not detected, failed to open dynamic library 'libcuda.so': libcuda.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
OpenCL Device 0 Platform:0 Device: 0 Bus:14 Slot:0 Compute: 1.2 Driver 440.59
GPU driver was installed by the "driver manager" of Linux Mint, and was properly running after a reboot.. (this time I did not have to tweak in terminal, as last time.)

I installed the Cuda Toolkit too, from synaptic.

There is this file on my system in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
There is a libcuda.so, that is a link to libcuda.so.1, which is a link to libcuda.so.440.59, but somehow the folding program does not know about this.

Log from the last GPU workunit, if it helps:

Doesn't matter as CUDA is not used by FAH yet but OpenCL. So everything is fine :-)

This is my understanding, but may not be fact.
In Windows, the driver direct from the vendor is bundled with CUDA and OpenCL code and both are installed by default.
In Linux, the CUDA and OpenCL code are usually downloaded with the driver but installed separately.
In MacOS, you are limited to the drivers and code in the OS. You do not download new ones.

Basically for Windows that is correct for drivers downloaded from nVidia, MS Windows Update driver downloads usually leave out the CUDA and OpenCL support.

For Linux it depends on the repository for the specific version of Linux being used.

Drivers for macOS are limited to those provided with the OS when dealing with AMD GPUs. Downloads for nVidia GPUs are available from nVIdia to support cards up to the GTX 1000 series Paascal based GPUs and on op to OS X 10.13.6 (High Sierra). After that Apple stopped updating the necessary frameworks for the drivers to connect with, and nVidia no longer has a developer license to sign drivers for the later OS versions. Support in later versions is limited to GPUs that were OEM and provided by Apple in the OS.
