try 390.59 from Nvidia? dev11 is compiled with cuda 9.2 and on Win10 works fine with latest nvidia drivers.

jeffersonn-1 on 23 May 2018

Oh, yes. Now I see "Travis CI: Build with g++-7, upgrade CUDA to 9.2" comments in commits.
Issue can be closed.

The explanation here seems inconsistent. I have just built v0.14.0 with CUDA 9.2 and I get the same error ...

celavek on 23 May 2018

Not sure about v0.14 ... I know 0.15 has the CUDA 9.2 code. You also must have the Linux 390.59 drivers from Nvidia for Linux or the latest drivers for Windows that also includes CUDA 9.2.

The drivers must match the code that ethermine uses.

jeffersonn-1 on 23 May 2018

Well something does not match. I just checked out the 0.15.0dev11, built and got the same error.
I'm on Debian 9, I have the proper CUDA, the proper driver and all that jazz

I tried the debug version but I cannot get more from the log ... any suggestions?

EDIT:
I just downloaded the released version of 0.15.0dev11 and I have the same behavior ...
but it works with the released versioned of 0.14.0!

The problem is in nvidia driver, not the CUDA SDK,

chfast on 24 May 2018

@celavek How do you installed cuda 9.2? I downloaded the cuda toolkit deb network (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1604&target_type=debnetwork) but after the installation i was unable to login. I had to run sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* for fix this problem, reinstall nvida-390 driver (sudo apt-get install nvidia-390) and also the cuda toolkit (sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit).
Now if i run nvcc --version i have the 7.5.17 version

nvcc` --version

But if i run this command i have the 9.2.88 version

cat` /usr/local/cuda/version.txt
CUDA Version 9.2.88

Driver Version: 390.59

Any help welcomed

invidtiv on 2 Jun 2018

How do you precisely set manually the path?

Scorpion2185 on 2 Jun 2018

@invidtiv you may have to reinstall nvidia drivers.

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390

AndreaLanfranchi on 2 Jun 2018

@AndreaLanfranchi Thanks , actually the issue was no purge from apt-get with the * , had to manually purge every nvidia , don t know why...
Got it working, actually installing with sudo apt-get install nvidia-390 it simply did not work for me .
I downloaded the cuda from nvidia cuda_9.2.88.1_linux.run , plus the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.24.run.
And installed the driver from the cuda install setup.
Again don t know why, I had these issues , they are not etherminer issues, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* always worked for me previously...

@Scorpion2185
just write
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin/../lib:/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin/../lib64
It will add the path... you are setting PATH=$PATH:(new path to include)

invidtiv on 2 Jun 2018

@invidtiv i wrote in the terminal:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin/../lib:/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin/../lib

And always get:

I used sudo apt-get install cuda and again i wasn' t able to login, and i had to do all the things that i said before to fix it.

Scorpion2185 on 2 Jun 2018

@Scorpion2185
sudo apt-get install cuda installs cuda7.5 not cuda 9.2
use this
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
then this to check that you removed everything
dpkg --list 'nvidia*'
Download from nvidia site nvidia cuda_9.2.88.1_linux.run
run it... use the cuda setup to instal the driver , do not install nvidia driver yourself ...

invidtiv on 3 Jun 2018

@invidtiv
sudo apt-get install cuda installs cuda 9.2

I downloaded the "cuda_9.2.88.1_linux.run" and it didn' t work. If i use export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}} nvcc shows cuda 9.2 but every time that i close the terminal it disappears.
dpkg --list 'nvidia*' shows cuda 7.5.

I am having the same issue.

I installed the nvidia-390 driver with apt, and it works fine. I installed cuda 9.2 with the runfile provided by nvidia and it seems to have installed successfully. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: version 0.14 of the miner works and mines properly.

I have the same issue when nouveau driver is used

lsmod | grep nouveau

chfast on 17 Jun 2018

Was a solution ever confirmed for this issue? I just installed the latest drivers from Nvidia's website and ran into this issue. I don't have a /usr/local/cuda folder which makes me think something went wrong but I didn't run into any issues when installing. Do I need to install cuda separately?
