Public bug reported: The Nvidia GPU driver cannot be installed for VM size Standard_NC6 but it is correctly installed for Standard_NV6. This is happening on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS.
To repro this issue: 1. Create a Virtual Machine with image Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS and size Standard_NC6 2. Add extension NvidiaGpuDriver and wait for it to fail 3. Connect to the VM and try to install following package sudo apt install -y xubuntu-desktop 4. You'll see how it is unable to install it and it suggests to run apt --fix-broken install but it doesn't work either. It should work accordingly to this doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/hpccompute-gpu-Linux This may be related to an older bug for an older Nvidia version: bug 1753796 ** Affects: linux-azure (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-azure in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866407 Title: GPU Driver extension issue (NVIDIA) Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The Nvidia GPU driver cannot be installed for VM size Standard_NC6 but it is correctly installed for Standard_NV6.
