CUDA error 'CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version' in func 'getinfo' line 45

[alff0x1f]

I run build v1.2.0 for linux on ubuntu xenial (actually it Linux mint serena 18.1, but use ubuntu 16.04 repos) and get this error:

$ ./zhasher-cuda -cd 0 1 -cv 1 -l mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:49951 -u tmWjhEGegvBSR5c49JNkk4PDyzDFfiNkGBT.RIGNAME

EWBF v0.3.4b and DSTM's (ZM) and claymore miners work fine

[egyptianbman]

I'm using Driver Version: 396.18 and it worked. Can you try upgrading to that?

[alff0x1f]

@egyptianbman 384.130 latest for 16.04. Now I try update to 18.04

[alff0x1f]

Update to 18.04 and 384.130 nvidia driver, nothing changed. I think problem in cuda version.

In ubuntu 16.04:

$ nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2015 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Tue_Aug_11_14:27:32_CDT_2015
Cuda compilation tools, release 7.5, V7.5.17

In ubuntu 18.04:

$ nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2017 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Fri_Nov__3_21:07:56_CDT_2017
Cuda compilation tools, release 9.1, V9.1.85

Now I try to install latest cuda 9.2 by this instruction: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

[Overdrive5]

I got it to run with cuda 9

[egyptianbman]

Honestly, with EWBF now being released, you probably want to use that. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466962.0

[alff0x1f]

@egyptianbman yes, in install cuda 9.2 and all works now. Later I read about EWBF :) Can close this issue, my fault, didn't read about dependencies:

• Boost 1.62+
• cuda tools 9.2+

[egyptianbman]

@alff0x1f glad everything got sorted out -- and that EWBF stepped in to boost our hashing speed!
