I am trying to install the NVIDIA CUDA driver on my brand new ASUS Vivobook n580gd without success. After a lot of googling I still have not found a solution.
I thank you in advance for any suggestion/advice.
My laptop has two graphic cards: an Intel UHD Graphics 630 and one NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile. It ships with Windows10 but I dual booted it with CentOS-7.6.
This is what I did until now:
- I performed a dual boot installation of CentOS-7 next to Windows 10 (already present in the laptop). In order to start CentOS from USB without problems I needed to use the 'nomodeset' flag.
- I followed the official installation guide https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html
- I installed GCC and the other required packages
- I download the rpm (local version) file from here https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=CentOS&target_version=7&target_type=rpmlocal
- I installed cuda and the driver with the command suggested in the guide. (in particular 'sudo yum install cuda')
- I Added the cuda binaries to the PATH variable
Then I rebooted and tried to check the driver:
$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
$ nvidia-settings
