I sent myself back to the stone ages 🫡
I had a successful setup of local models installed via Ollama
At this point I was on NVIDIA driver 570 and CUDA V.12.8
Openclaw was running in a container and had access to Ollama’s api
Openclaw config was set for sandbox etc.
I had everything running flawlessly
NO BACKUP WAS SAVED FOR MY MACHINE OR CONFIGS (I need to get in the habit, setting up a local server soon to have backups in NAS)
I updated my machine and drivers
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
I was under the impression at the time that my models would run faster with newer drivers
I understand Nvidia and Linux have their differences
After not getting any of my models to load
I found out that I was unaware at the time that the graphic drivers were set purposely for Ollama
After doing some digging, I don’t even know how I setup these old drivers successfully
(Ending of February) I have been seeing forums of people having broken installs of nvidia driver 550-570
I need CUDA 12 and any driver associated with that
Is anyone aware of this driver compatibility and how to setup my new Linux environment?
I wiped my partition :D and started fresh since I purged Nvidia to try and rollback drivers but ended having conflicted installs.
