NVIDIA Driver Ubuntu

  1. Add the NVIDIA GPU driver PPA to your system:

    Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

    Add the graphics-driver PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
    

    This will provide info on the current long-lived branch release: `nvidia-xxx`

  2. Install the current latest drivers for your system:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install intel-opencl-icd
    
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx
    
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx
    

    Note

    Support for Ubuntu 18.04 is removed since SDK 2.10. To see Ubuntu 18.04 instructions for an earlier SDK version, change the Knowledge Base version in the top left corner.

    After installing the driver, restart your system:

    sudo reboot
    
  3. Open Zivid Studio and verify that you do not get OpenCL errors.

Note

If you get OpenCL errors, you might have to add your user to group Video.
