Lambda Stack CUDA and Nvidia drivers

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

In case there’s an alternate approach - while going through the steps at https://dushyantmin.com/fine-tuning-stable-diffusion-v20-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?
