Lambda Stack CUDA and Nvidia drivers

Technical Help
1

Are there any plans to update the CUDA and NVIDIA drivers to the latest? The current version we have been able to install for 20.04 has been 11.6 and Nvidia driver version 510.47.03 from the Lambda Stack repos. The installed Nvidia driver has a security vulnerability (CVE-2022-31608) which we would like to remove.

The latest driver should be available from the Lambda Stack repo in the next 12-24 hours.

The latest driver was uploaded just now.

Thanks so much! This saves us so much time. I verified the new Nvidia driver version 515.65.01 with CUDA 11.7

How do we upgrade the CUDA version using Lambda Stack? A new instance has 11.6, and I tried:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
sudo reboot

but still:

 nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2022 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Tue_Mar__8_18:18:20_PST_2022
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.6, V11.6.124
Build cuda_11.6.r11.6/compiler.31057947_0

In case there’s an alternate approach - while going through the steps at Fine tuning Stable Diffusion v2.0 with DreamBooth

I run in to:

    The detected CUDA version (11.6) mismatches the version that was used to compile
    PyTorch (11.7). Please make sure to use the same CUDA versions.

I wonder if re-compiling pytorch may be the solution?

Can you post the output of sudo apt-get update?

Yes I also want to upgrade Cuda to 12.1 and compatible torch version.
As per this Nvidia Official Drivers | NVIDIA
We can upgrade the driver via the above link and the torch via the pytorch.org page

Is there a lambda-stack way to upgrade them?

Problem is solved.
Since via
sudo apt-get remove lambda-stack-cuda && sudo apt-get install lambda-stack-cuda
This failed in the middle due to interruption and I have to do
sudo dpkg --configure -a and reissue the above install of lambda-stack-cuda.
This went through, I rebooted the system and all are up to date.
