Problems running 6.2.6 with nvidia 470 drivers - suggestions?
#1
Hi : 

Thanks in advance.

Running Fedora 38, installed nvidia 470 drivers from FreshRPMs, and hashcat 6.2.6-2 from Fedora repository.  Hardware is a 1080Ti and a GT710.  710 is used to drive a local display, and intent is for the 1080 to be used for compute.  CUDA version is 11.4 on driver 470.199.02

Unfortunately the GT710 doesn't work with drivers newer than 470xx.  

- Everything seems to load fine hardware wise ; 
- Graphical boot works fine (Gnome), no issues, display connected to GT710 ; 

- If I execute hashcat -I, I get OpenCL errors, then an error saying that CUDA Toolkit isn't installed properly.
- hashcat then will not exit, at all.  Process cannot be killed with killall hashcat, kill [PID], and kill -9 [PID], and if I try to reboot at the command line, system shutdown can't even kill it and the computer will hang for an hour and I have to physically power cycle to get it to reboot.  This makes it a pain to troubleshoot.
- as a test I installed the current nvidia drivers and the 1080 and hashcat will run.

Ideally would like to find a version of hashcat that will run on 11.4 CUDA / 470xx drivers.  Any suggestions how to troubleshoot?  I've already done the driver wipe / reinstall a couple times using dnf.  Can anyone confirm that hashcat 6.2.6 will work with 11.4/470xx drivers?

General troubleshooting tips:

Please read FAQ, particularly
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre..._the_gpu_s

Hashcat is being developed and tested on Ubuntu.
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-8704-po...l#pid46265
Try Ubuntu.

I don't have nvidia, can't give specific advice, sorry.
