Genemapster Fix with CUDA install[edit]
- Some installation notes : http://wiki.accelereyes.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_CUDA_Under_Ubuntu_10.04
- Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Enable fast bootup in boot screen so that genemapster doesn't take as long to load (before it was checking all the ram)
- Removed one faulty HDD
- Download driver, CUDA toolkit, and CUDA SDK
- Begin installation of NVIDIA driver and CUDA
- First, disable gdm
sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.disabled
- Second, disable nouveau
sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf #Insert the following 2 lines: blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0
- Third, remove all nvidia drivers
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*
- Reboot into terminal
- Ran nvidia driver installer
- Enable gdm
sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.disabled /etc/init/gdm.conf
- Reboot
- Ran CUDA toolkit installer
- Ran CUDA SDK installer
- Copy contents of /usr/local/cuda/bin to /usr/local/bin
- Add cuda libraries to path
sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cuda.conf #Insert the following 2 lines: /usr/local/cuda/lib64 /usr/local/cuda/lib
- Reload library path
sudo ldconfig
- Install libglut3-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libglut3-mesa-dev
- Compile SDK source codes with make
- Install any required libraries
- After compilation is finished, try running:
sudo ./deviceQuery
- Note: Installation of Nvidia driver and running of ./deviceQuery allowed control of the GPU's fan so that it's no longer running at full capacity.
- Run sensors-detect to make sure that the system's sensors are working correctly:
sensors-detect
- Update bash.bashrc so that "ls" command can color the files in directories
- Update /etc/fstab to mount HDD partitions by UUID
- For some reasons, genemapster always make a lot of noise at bootup
