Nvidia-docker: Using Linux Mint

Created on 28 Oct 2018 · 5Comments · Source: NVIDIA/nvidia-docker

1. Issue or feature description : # Unsupported distribution! _error for "linuxmint19"_

2. Steps to reproduce the issue: _followed instructions on URL: https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/_

3. Information to attach (optional if deemed irrelevant)

[ ] Kernel version from uname -a
[ ] Any relevant kernel output lines from dmesg
[ ] Driver information from nvidia-smi -a
[ ] Docker version from docker version
[ ] NVIDIA packages version from dpkg -l '*nvidia*' _or_ rpm -qa '*nvidia*'
[ ] NVIDIA container library version from nvidia-container-cli -V
[ ] NVIDIA container library logs (see troubleshooting)
[ ] Docker command, image and tag used

Why isn't there an alternative method to pull the relevant files? Linux Mint 19 is a derivative of supported Ubuntu 18.04.

Linux Mint is not supported, if you wish to install nvidia-docker on it, you will need to register the ubuntu 18.04 repositories manually:

curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/ubuntu18.04/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list
sudo apt-get update
