How to install CUDA on fedora17

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cuda



首先請先確認自己機子的顯卡是否爲Nvidia的顯卡和型號

  lspci|grep VGA
然後到ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/290.10/README/supportedchips.html查看,如果你的顯卡在
1. 切換到root用戶

 

    su -  

2. 確定當前linux內核及SELinux policy 是否爲最新

 

    yum update kernel* selinux-policy*   

    如果有升級過程,就重啓一下   
    reboot  

重啓後會出現設置頁面,不用管,一路foward

3.安裝rpmfushion源

su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'



4. 安裝GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500 系列顯卡的nVidia驅動

這裏提供 akmod, kmod及kmod-PAE三種安裝方式。

akmod方式出現的問題少並且非常容易,如果您使用

  • 自己編譯的內核
  • 舊的fedora內核
  • 經常升級及測試中變換內核

推薦這種akmod安裝方式。

注(譯者就是使用akmod安裝方式)

您在以下三種安裝方式先其一。

akmod-nvidia安裝方式:

  1. yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs   
  2. ##Extra package for kernel-PAE users   
  3. yum install kernel-PAE-devel  

kmod-nvidia安裝方式: 

  1. yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs  

kmod-PAE安裝方式 

  1. kmod-nvidia-PAE and kernel-PAE-devel   
  2. yum install kernel-PAE-devel kmod-nvidia-PAE   

5. 刪除Fedora官方自帶的nouveau顯卡驅動 

  1. ##備份原來的 initramfs nouveau image鏡像 ##   
  2. mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img   
  3. ## 創建新的 initramfs image鏡像 ##   
  4. dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) 

6. 所有安裝已經完成,重新啓動機器  

  1. reboot  

Prerequisites

First, be sure your GPU is compatible with CUDA. Refer to Nvidia's list of CUDA GPUs.

Then, install required packages:

su -c 'yum install wget make gcc-c++ freeglut-devel libXi-devel libXmu-devel mesa-libGLU-devel'

Install NVIDIA libraries

If you want to run BOINC projects, you will also need the NVIDIA drivers and libraries available in the "rpmfusion" repository.

Additional confirmation needed
Here, the graphics driver is changed from the standard 'nouveau' driver to the 'nvidia' driver. Is this really necessary? One may be able to keep the 'nouveau' driver.
Warning (medium size).png
May activate annoying bug in Flash Player
Using the 'nvidia' driver might cause your Flash Player (if you have it) to exhibit the "blue YouTube" bug, as Flash Player will try to use hardware acceleration, but will fail in doing so.
  • See ForbiddenItems#NVIDIA for Fedora's official policy on the NVIDIA drivers (which is why the "nouveau" graphics driver instead of the "nvidia" one is used by default.)
  • See rpmfusion configuration on how to activate the "rpmfusion" repository for your installation.
  • See xorg-x11-drv-nvidia on what the RPM fusion "xorg-x11-drv-nvidia" package is about and how to install it.

The "rpmfusion" repository provides several RPM packages:

  • The "nvidia" graphics driver, which replaces the "nouveau" driver.
  • Two configuration tool packages.
  • The NVIDIA library packages. There are 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You need to install both the 32 bit and 64 bit library packages if you are on a 64 bit machine otherwise some BOINC projects won't run.
  • The NIVIDA kernel module package. This package is adapted to a specific kernel and needs to be updated whenever your system is updated to a new kernel (see below).

This illustration (made with Gliffy) depicts the packages and their interdependencies. It is sufficient to install the library packages to pull them all in, including the correct kernel module package:

RPM fusion packages and their interdependencies

On 32 bit:

su -c 'yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs' 

On 64 bit:

su -c 'yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686' 




if (ERROR)  then 
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
su -c 'rpm -Uvh  http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

After installation, check the list of provided libraries using "rpm --query --list xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs | grep -P '\.so(\.[123])?$'"

Playing around with rpm
You may want to play around with rpm --query PACKAGENAME --requires andrpm --query PACKAGENAME --provides to list the capabilities required and provided by the packages. The counterpartsrpm --query --whatrequires CAPABILITY and rpm --query --whatprovides CAPABILITY list the packages that require or provide said capabilities. Listing the capabilities of the kernel module demands that you write the name in full, including version, release and architectue:rpm --query kmod-nvidia-3.5.4-2.fc17.x86_64-304.37-1.fc17.5.x86_64 --requires

Configuration interface 1
The rpmfusion package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia comes with the 'nvidia-smi' application, which enables you to manage the graphic hardware from the command line. From the man page: "'nvidia-smi' provides monitoring information for each of NVIDIA's Tesla devices and each of its high-end Fermi-based and Kepler-based Quadro devices. It provides very limited information for other types of NVIDIA devices."
Idea.png
Configuration interface 2
The rpmfusion package nvidia-settings provides a GUI tool to manage the graphic card. From the man page: "The nvidia-settings utility is a tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. It operates by communicating with the NVIDIA X driver, querying and updating state as appropriate. This communication is done via the NV-CONTROL, GLX, XVideo, and RandR X extensions."

Upgrading your kernel

After a 'yum update' that upgraded the kernel, booting will not work because the 'nvidia' kernel module for the new kernel version is missing and the 'nouveau' kernel module has been blacklisted via file '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf'.

To fix this, log in as root, then:

  1. Determine the version code of your next kernel (it should be the highest version code in '/boot', e.g. '3.5.4-2.fc17.x86_64').
  2. Store this version code in a shell variable for ease-of-use: NEXT=3.5.4-2.fc17.x86_64.
  3. Add the new 'kmod-nvidia' package from the rpmfusion repository to your system by running
    yum install "kmod-nvidia-${NEXT}"
    This will add the kernel module as '/usr/lib/modules/${NEXT}/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko'.
  4. After that, you may have to recreate the initial RAM disk as well (not sure here, this may be needed on first installation only) using
    mv /boot/initramfs-${NEXT}.img /boot/initramfs-${NEXT}.old
    and then
    dracut /boot/initramfs-${NEXT}.img ${NEXT}

Download CUDA Toolkit and GPU Computing SDK

You will have to download the installers for the "CUDA Toolkit" and for the "GPU Computing SDK". Refer to theNvidia CUDA downloads page for the latest versions.

Let's download and save them on the Desktop.

32 bit :

cd ~/Desktop
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_2/rel/toolkit/cudatoolkit_4.2.9_linux_32_fedora14.run
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_2/rel/sdk/gpucomputingsdk_4.2.9_linux.run

64 bit :

cd ~/Desktop
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_2/rel/toolkit/cudatoolkit_4.2.9_linux_64_fedora14.run
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_2/rel/sdk/gpucomputingsdk_4.2.9_linux.run

Install CUDA Toolkit

Go to "Desktop", add execution permissions of the cudatoolkit downloaded file, and execute it with root permissions:

cd ~/Desktop
chmod +x cudatoolkit_4.2.9_linux_*
su -c './cudatoolkit_4.2.9_linux_*'

When it asks you:

Enter install path (default /usr/local/cuda, '/cuda' will be appended):

type:

/opt

Install GPU Computing SDK

As before, go to "Desktop", add execution permissions of the gpucomputingsdk downloaded file, and execute itwithout root permissions:

cd ~/Desktop
chmod +x gpucomputingsdk_4.2.9_linux.run
./gpucomputingsdk_4.2.9_linux.run

When it asks you:

Enter install path (default ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK):

press [enter] (to use default path)

When it asks you:

Enter CUDA install path (default /usr/local/cuda):

type

/opt/cuda

Preparation

Executable search path

Extend the executable search path to include CUDA executables:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cuda/bin

To make this permanent, modify your ~/.bashrc (modifying ~/.bash_profile will cause the path to be extended for the login shell only):

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cuda/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

Library search path

Extend the library search path to include CUDA libraries:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda/lib:/opt/cuda/lib64

To make this permanent, modify your ~/.bashrc:

echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda/lib:/opt/cuda/lib64' >> ~/.bashrc

Or more correctly, add entries to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, then run ldconfig once:

su -c 'echo "/opt/cuda/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-cuda.conf; echo "/opt/cuda/lib64" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-cuda64.conf ; ldconfig'

If you later want to check whether any of your programs need something that isn't there, run this command in the relevant directory:

find . -exec file --mime '{}' ';' | grep 'application/x-executable' | cut --fields=1 --delimiter=':' | xargs ldd | grep 'not found'

Applications looking for CUDA 3
Some applications (in this case, einstein@home) may look for CUDA 3 libraries libcudart.so.3 and libcufft.so.3. In that case, run
su -c 'cd /opt/cuda/lib; ln -s libcudart.so.4 libcudart.so.3; ln -s libcufft.so.4 libcufft.so.3'
and on 64 bit machines additionally
su -c 'cd /opt/cuda/lib64; ln -s libcudart.so.4 libcudart.so.3; ln -s libcufft.so.4 libcufft.so.3'
That seems to do the trick.


Fedora 17

Some compatibility problems appeared with gcc-4.7. You will have to install a compatibility version:

su -c 'yum install compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++'

Create a symbolic link to make CUDA use gcc-3.4:

su -c 'ln -s /usr/bin/gcc34 /opt/cuda/bin/gcc'

Now, you can compile.

32bits:

cd ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C
LINKFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/nvidia/ make cuda-install=/opt/cuda

64bits:

cd ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C
LINKFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/nvidia/ make cuda-install=/opt/cuda

Test

Now, let's test if CUDA is working correctly. Type:

~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/bin/linux/release/fluidsGL

You should see something like this on the command line:

[fluidsGL] starting...

[fluidsGL] - [OpenGL/CUDA simulation] starting...
   OpenGL device is Available
CUDA device [GeForce GT 610] has 1 Multi-Processors

A window with a fluid dynamics simulation should appear. Use the mouse pointer to generate some activity:

Cuda test.png

Now we can use GPUGRID applications with BOINC.

If the following error message appears instead:

[fluidsGL]
starting...                               

[fluidsGL] - [OpenGL/CUDA simulation]
starting...
   OpenGL device is NOT Available, [fluidsGL] exiting...
[fluidsGL] test results...                
WAIVED                                          

You are probably running the application as a user that does not currently have access to the display.

There are additional test programs underneath ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/bin/linux/release/. Try a few.

In particular

~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/bin/linux/release/deviceQuery

will tell you about the capabilities of the graphics device:

Cleanup

Now that CUDA has been installed, the installers files are useless. You can remove them:

cd ~/Desktop
rm cudatoolkit_4.2.9_linux_*
rm gpucomputingsdk_4.2.9_linux.run

Uninstall

If you want to totally remove CUDA, juste delete the /opt/cuda and~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK folders:

rm -r ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK
su -c 'rm -r /opt/cuda'

and remove the export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cuda/bin and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda/lib:/opt/cuda/lib64 lines of the~/.bash_profile file.
