趣旨

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (22.04.4) に nvidia driver 535 と cuda 12.1 を入れようとしたところ、下記のエラーでインストールできませんでした。その解決法を探ったので、そのときのメモです。

時間がたったら解決している可能性は大です。

GPU や CPU の違う複数のマシンで試しても同じことになったので、特定の構成に依存するというわけではなさそうです。

解決方法

nvidia-driver-535 と CUDA 12.2 をインストールする

CUDA Toolkit 12.2 Downloads

これで解決しました。pytorch の公式の対応は 12.1 なのですが、12.2 でも問題なく動いているように見えます（一応、メジャーバージョン内では後方互換性はあるはずので 12.x なら動くはず）

ドライバのバージョンを変えるのもためしましたが、何を入れてもダメでした。
