Thanks so much! Installing the driver directly from the downloaded file was the way to go! docker-host-3-gpu:~$ nvidia-smi Mon Mar 31 12:18:12 2025 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 570.133.07 Driver Version: 570.133.07 CUDA Version: 12.8 | |-----------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

Having an issue where I can't seem to get the latest Nvidia drivers within my Ubuntu VM. For some reason, the latest that is available is version 470. Relevant info: Unraid is running on an HP DL380 Gen9 (Legacy Boot, not UEFI) Nvidia Tesla P4 GPU Unraid version is 7.0.1 Ubuntu version is 24.04 According to Nvidia's website, the latest driver available for the P4 is 572, so its not limited from that side. On the Ubuntu 24.04 VM: sudo ubuntu-drivers list --gpgpu returns the following udevadm hwdb is deprecated. Use systemd-hwdb instead. udevadm hwdb is deprecated. Use systemd-hwdb instead. nvidia-driver-470, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic) nvidia-driver-470-server, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-470-server-generic) nvidia-smi Sun Mar 30 19:40:01 2025 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 470.256.02 Driver Version: 470.256.02 CUDA Version: 11.4 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running What has worked: I set up a Windows 10 VM and was able to successfully instal the latest 572 driver from Nvidia The configuration of the two VMs (Ubuntu and Windows 10) is essentially identical.
