About NVIDIA Driver in WSL2

[zqnss666]

I have tried to install the program in wsl2 using ubuntu. If I use command "nvidia-smi' in linux, I can get a result:

But when I try to install cuda from nvidia by
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.5.0/local_installers/cuda_11.5.0_495.29.05_linux.run
sudo sh cuda_11.5.0_495.29.05_linux.run
It will warn like that:

Thus is it necessary to download and install the nvidia driver for linux 64-bit in nvidia website? I tried to do that, but I can not install it locally in wsl2-ubuntu system. It reminded that there is not an NVIDIA GPU in this system. Thanks!

At the end of the log you can see that you can use sudo cuda_11.5.0_495.29.05_linux.run -silent -driver to install driver. And from nvidia-smi it seems you already have cuda driver installed. You can try install pytorch and run a = torch.randn(3).cuda() and see if there's any error.

Thus if I run it smoothly, it proves cuda will be used in experiments without problem?

And when I tried to build the ConvOnets as step 4 in installation, some warnings happened:

If it was caused by differentt versions of related packages? And it will affect future experiments like generating or training? Thanks!!

The warning is normal. It won't affect the experiments.

Thanks！I am now tring to process data and train the models.
