Error when running in ubuntu 22.04

[rafariossaa]

Hi, I am trying to use it in ubuntu 22.04, but I got the following error:

$ sudo dpkg-divert --add --local --divert /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1.orig --rename /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1

Could this be because the gcc version ubuntu 22.04 provides ?

Sorry, I think I messed with my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now I don't get this error, but nvidia-smi doesn't show any process when running a render in blender using GPU.

works fine on 22.04 for me.

what do you see here?

matt@aquos:~$ nvidia-smi -a|grep 'Product Brand'
    Product Brand                         : Quadro

if it says Quadro with nvml_fix installed, and GeForce without, then it's working as intended.

also, which card model? i think some cards just don't support reporting those metrics :/

@rafariossaa could you please provide the previously mentioned nvidia-smi -a|grep 'Product Brand' with/without nvml_fix installed?
