1. Issue or feature description

Upon running the command docker run --privileged --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.0.3-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi i get the error

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error running hook #0: error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: Auto-detected mode as 'legacy'
nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: load library failed: libnvidia-ml.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory: unknown.

2. Steps to reproduce the issue

I installed nvidia through Fedora Docs, not Nvidia, so as an example nvcc --version outputs an error saying that it does not recognize nvcc command but in my host machine I can run nvidia-smi

The commands I used to install nvidia are the following:

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

And as visible in the following image I am able to run the command nvidia-smi in my host machine

I followed this guide on how yo install nvidia-docker - - and did the following:

curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/centos8/libnvidia-container.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.repo
##############################
sudo dnf install nvidia-docker2
# Edit /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/config.toml and disable cgroups:
no-cgroups = true

sudo reboot
##############################
sudo systemctl start docker.service
##############################
docker run --privileged --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.0.3-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi

and upon running this docker command I get the error show in ### 1.

The thing is, I have the file that it says it is missing (check the following image), so maybe it is looking for it in a different directory?

Hello,

I was facing the same issue as you. However, I was facing a lot of issues with the installation with docker and selinux. After moving to podman, everything seems to be working fine when running the container under root (rootless doesn’t seem to work because i don’t have the nvidia-docker2 package installed from what i understand… i could be wrong)

First output is the test container from NVIDIA running nvidia-smi.

The guide i followed can be found here : Installation Guide — NVIDIA Cloud Native Technologies documentation

This post from stackexchange and from a reddit user helped me a lot with setting up the cuda packages :

I was on fedora 37 when i followed these guides and everything is working well even after the upgrade.

I hope this helps.
