[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1632019] Re: [*buntu 16.04 / PRIME] nvidia-smi not work if iGPU as the primary display
I can confirm this bug on ubuntu 17.04. running nvidia-smi fails: jta@rachael:~$ nvidia-smi NVIDIA-SMI couldn't find libnvidia-ml.so library in your system. Please make sure that the NVIDIA Display Driver is properly installed and present in your system. Please also try adding directory that contains libnvidia-ml.so to your system PATH. adding LD_PRELOAD with the location of libnvidia-ml.so and running nvidia-smi works: jta@rachael:~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/nvidia-375/libnvidia-ml.so nvidia-smi Mon May 22 16:37:10 2017 +-+ | NVIDIA-SMI 375.39 Driver Version: 375.39| |---+--+--+ | GPU NamePersistence-M| Bus-IdDisp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

In the second link it is mentioned a workaround that might give a clue about the cause of the problem. That is, I think 'nvidia-smi " should work by default without running this workaround as root. To make it clear, nvidia-smi works as expected if you have selected nvidia gpu as the primary display. Tested with nvidia-361 from official Ubuntu 16.04 repos. Installed libcuda1 and nvidia-prime packages. As additional information regarding the Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA (since it is the only way Ubuntu users can update the drivers with .deb packages): https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa If you install the drivers from the PPA (I tested 370.28 and 367.44) and iGPU as the primary display using PRIME, you can not even able to use CUDA in applications such as Blender/Cycles (CUDA is not available in Blender for GPU compute). This problem (not having CUDA available) does not occur with drivers from official repositories of Ubuntu, for example 361.42 is working well in Kubuntu 16.04. So I do not know if it is because PPA packages are built differently from the official repository. It would be good you to take a look at this. Thanks.
