--- Comment #38 from Matthias Bach
getfacl /dev/nvidia* [...] @Mister Pend Seeems only gdm has access to your nvidia devices? It should look different once a regular user has logged into the session.
Just to make this explicit, it's completely valid to utilise the compute capabilities (nvenc, CUDA, OpenCL) without a running X session, i.e. for a dedicated machine-learning host that for noise reasons you don't want to have right next to your desk. It's one of the big advantages of the NVIDIA cards over AMD that you can have a truly headless system with them. The first generation of Tesla cards didn't even have graphics outlets, and in consequence wouldn't work on Windows (which I assume is the only reason why a lot of supercomputers now could run giant display farms). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
