CUDA and Nvidia...
by FTIO from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KHE7)
Hiya folks,
I have always installed the Nvidia blob when installing Nvidia drivers...it's just easier, IMHO.
Now, I would like to install cuda, and the slackbuild mentions that I must have the nvidia driver/kernel driver installed. Does this mean that I have to have those installed via the slackbuilds way, or that the cuda build will find my already installed nvidia blob?
Every time I've tried to install the nvidia drivers the slackbuilds way, it's never worked right and I always ended up having to reinstall the Slackware install.
So if anyone happens to know if the blob will work, I'd sure appreciate hearing it. Reason being, I got the Krita appimage of 5.2.2 on my system and have the AI extensions installed, but if I try to use anything 'AI', it throws out a CUDA error, presumably because I don't have CUDA installed.
