Package: nsight-compute Version: 2021.2.2.1~11.4.3-2 Severity: wishlist
By default, the nvidia kernel module is loaded such that profiling is restricted to privileged users. The rationale for this in [1] was about a local information disclosure. However, one could argue that on systems where nsight-compute is installed in the first place, regular developers would want to make use of it. To this end, loading the module with option nvidia NVreg_RestrictProfilingToAdminUsers=0 Would do this by default. Is this something you might consider worthwhile to add somewhere to the nsight-compute package? Please feel free to simply close the bug if you don't; I'd fully understand.
