Description
Describe the bug
After installing taichi can calling ti.init(arch=ti.cuda), i got the following error msg

Hi! Looks like it's an error caused by CUDA driver. Just to make sure, are you working on a native Linux machine, or WSL / VirtualBox?
xukez2 commentedon Jul 26, 2023
hi @houkensjtu, thanks for the reply. I'm working on a native ubuntu. If that's related to the CUDA driver, do you have a recommendation for the driver version?
houkensjtu commentedon Jul 26, 2023
@xukez2 Both your GPU and your CUDA version looks fine, I don't have a specific recommendation. Can you run
ti example? Maybe you should also try re-installing the CUDA driver.jim19930609 commentedon Jul 28, 2023
Looks like an issue with CUDA Driver, can you verify if your GPU works with other frameworks like Pytorch-GPU?
xukez2 commentedon Jul 28, 2023
@jim19930609 i can use pytorch gpu. I'm trying to have different cuda version to see if that can work
xukez2 commentedon Jul 28, 2023
@jim19930609 and @houkensjtu i downgraded my nvidia driver and cuda to nvidia-driver-525 and cuda 12.0 and it works. Thanks for the help.

Cuda 13.0也会遇到一样的错误。什么时候能解决呢？@吉姆19930609
wsl的情况通过下列设置解决
