I know this has been covered many times here, but I am still struggling to download PyTorch with NVIDIA GPU support on my end. I am using a Windows 10 OS but am trying to download Torch through an Ubuntu terminal because one of my project codes has a conflict with Windows.

I am running Python 3.9.12 and have a NVIDIA RTX 3090. I can provide other details about the hardware if needed.

I have followed this guide: Jeff Heaton: PyTorch with GPU support and tried to follow PyTorch's own guidelines and failed. I have then tried them again after deleting previous NVIDIA drivers and CUDA versions via

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia\*
sudo apt-get remove --purge \*cuda\*

but failed again.

Many times, I encountered the following error when using

nvidia-smi

Thank you all for your time and please let me know what I could do.

  • how about installing a dual system that contains both Windows and Ubuntu on the same machine? – CuCaRot Jul 08 '22 at 06:32
  • That was my next thought. I wanted to avoid the hassle of learning a new OS. I'll try that out soon and report my findings. Just curious though, what could possibly be going wrong? – Broke Bum Jul 08 '22 at 07:09
  • I have no idea since I never tried an Ubuntu terminal on Windows before. The problem may come from the difference in the default command, for example, calling nvidia-smi on windows need multiple steps (as [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57100015/how-do-i-run-nvidia-smi-on-windows)) – CuCaRot Jul 08 '22 at 07:49

    @CuCaRot Thanks for the tip. I ended up downloading Ubuntu on a separate SSD and now it works! – Broke Bum Jul 09 '22 at 18:29
