I am using the Blender 3D 2.71 binary downloaded from the official Blender site. It contain precompiled CUDA Kernel (cuda toolkit is not required to be installed). If I run Blender then CUDA is not available under "File > User Preferences > System > Compute Device" . If I run as super user Blender (kdesudo ./blender), then CUDA is available. Here's a related thread on nvidia devtalk forum (see message #8): https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/699610/334-21-driver- returns-999-on-cuinit-cuda-/ ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 3d blender cuda nvidia ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375841/+attachment/4220380/+files/Xorg.0.log ** Summary changed: - [nvidia-331-updates] CUDA only works as root + [nvidia-331-updates] [14.10 Utopic] CUDA only works as root -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375841 Title: [nvidia-331-updates] [14.10 Utopic] CUDA only works as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates/+bug/1375841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
