'Pytorch says that CUDA is not available
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.

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.
Npw, when I run nvidia-smi, I get:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

and I run nvcc -V I get:

I then performed the post-installation instructions from section 6.1, and so as a result, echo $PATH looks like this:
/home/isaek/anaconda3/envs/stylegan2_pytorch/bin:/home/isaek/anaconda3/bin:/home/isaek/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks like this:
/usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64
and my /etc/udev/rules.d/40-vm-hotadd.rules file looks like this:
# On Hyper-V and Xen Virtual Machines we want to add memory and cpus as soon as they appear
ATTR{[dmi/id]sys_vendor}=="Microsoft Corporation", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="Virtual Machine", GOTO="vm_hotadd_apply"

SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*", TEST=="online", ATTR{online}="1"
LABEL="vm_hotadd_end"
After all of this, I even compiled and ran the samples. ./deviceQuery returns:

NOTE: The CUDA Samples are not meant for performance measurements. Results may vary when GPU Boost is enabled.
But after all of this, this Python snippet (in a conda environment with all dependencies installed):
import torch
torch.cuda.is_available()
returns False
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="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
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.

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)
Solution 2:[2]
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.
