[SOLVED] CUDA not working on linux-ck kernel

Recently, after an update CUDA hasn't been working at all on the linux-ck kernel. Trying to use OBS with NVENC enabled doesn't work, using CUDA with TensorFlow doesn't work either, etc. etc. However, as soon as I boot into the standard linux kernel, everything works fine.

I'm using nvidia-dkms so the driver can work between both kernels. I do have linux-ck-headers and dkms seems to install fine to it, so nothing else seems wrong except the fact that no part of CUDA works when using the linux-ck kernel.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Tried on linux-zen and it seems to work fine there, so a bit clueless on why it won't work on linux-ck

Re: [SOLVED] CUDA not working on linux-ck kernel

Are you using modprobed-db also? Maybe you are missing a module. If you can share the project I can try reproducing it locally.

Don't believe so, however I have tried running nvidia-modprobe to no avail. I'll give that a shot.

The kernel can be found at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-ck/

Sorry I wasn't clear. If you tell me the steps to reproduce it I can give it a go on my PC which I have linux-ck with DKMS and CUDA avalaible. This is why I was asking for a project.

Is this coming from a project ?

Re: [SOLVED] CUDA not working on linux-ck kernel

My bad, yes. TensorFlow is pretty large so I'd recommend installing OBS (sudo pacman -S obs-studio), going to File -> Settings and then Output and then changing the recording encoder from Software to Hardware (NVENC), then hit start recording.

Re: [SOLVED] CUDA not working on linux-ck kernel

Same here.
When I use linux-ck-haswell in repo-ck. I can't run the deviceQuery in cuda samples:

$ cd "cuda sample's directory"
$ ./bin/x86_64/linux/release/deviceQuery
./bin/x86_64/linux/release/deviceQuery Starting...

 CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 30
-> unknown error
Result = FAIL

However I have install nvidia-dkms and it works:

$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm             45056  10
nvidia_modeset       1093632  8 nvidia_drm
nvidia              14061568  825 nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper        196608  2 nvidia_drm,i915
drm                   466944  13 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm,i915
ipmi_msghandler        57344  2 ipmi_devintf,nvidia

If I switch back to linux kernel then cuda works fine.

Just tried that and got the same results as you.

Re: [SOLVED] CUDA not working on linux-ck kernel

Same here hmm (linux-ck with nvidia-dkms and supposed to be working fine). Could it be that nvidia-dkms (the module) is build with gcc8 and Cuda only supports gcc7?

I don't think so, since it works fine on any other kernel except the -ck one.

But in linux-ck's PKGBUILD it says that it's not recommend to enable this feature in single CPU platform.

Re: [SOLVED] CUDA not working on linux-ck kernel

With CUDA you are using the GPU as a processor, so it is not a single CPU platform anymore.

I will comment the PKGBUILD for CUDA users and reference this discussion, thank you.
