[SOLVED] Nvidia 390 driver CUDA? (BOINC)

dchmelik · 12-24-2018, 06:10 AM

On Slackware64 14.2 up-to-date stable, I installed extra/ nouveau blacklist, then SBo's nvidia-legacy390-driver, using sbotools, so the dependency (kernel thing) also was installed (and I checked.) However, when I run BOINC, it's not detecting my GPU. What else may I need to do, or check, or change, to figure out how to get the card's (GT420) compute driver to work? (display works fine after the change)

Have you added the following line(s) to /etc/rc.d/rc.local as per the README?
https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/...-driver/README

Code:

# Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot
/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u

You can also compile and run the following program to list your CUDA/OpenCL devices:

Mainly I followed instructions on docs.slackware.com, which didn't mention that, and SBo's README said 'might' so I didn't bother and was going to try it later if necessary, then forgot... That was what was needed.
