Hashcat: Failed to initialize NVIDIA RTC library

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well. I get the following warnings when running hashcat:

Successfully initialized the NVIDIA main driver CUDA runtime library.

Failed to initialize NVIDIA RTC library.

* Device #1: CUDA SDK Toolkit not installed or incorrectly installed.
             CUDA SDK Toolkit required for proper device support and utilization.
             Falling back to OpenCL runtime.

* Device #1: WARNING! Kernel exec timeout is not disabled.
             This may cause "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" or related errors.
             To disable the timeout, see: https://hashcat.net/q/timeoutpatch
nvmlDeviceGetFanSpeed(): Not Supported

I tried installing cuda 11.8.0-1 but that didn't work.

Re: Hashcat: Failed to initialize NVIDIA RTC library

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile (TU116M) and I have installed nvidia-open 520.56.06-11

And according to archwiki page of hashcat I have also installed opencl-nvidia 520.56.06-2

Don't use nvidia-open it does not support  CUDA currently, afaik.

I uninstalled nvidia-open and installed nvidia. But I am still getting the same warnings.

Re: Hashcat: Failed to initialize NVIDIA RTC library

Did you reboot? You need to load the "new" kernel modules. IF you've set up early KMS, don't forget to regenerate the initramfs

Yes I did reboot my system after switching the drivers.
