There's an Ubuntu box here to run things under cuda because two days trying to get cuda to run properly on Debian turned out to be the limit of my patience. For something that should be familiar it's intensely irritating as a dev system.

As an especial what the fuck are you doing, for the LTS 24.04 release that nvidia tested against, canonical decided to upgrade their kernel, without bumping their minor revision number, to one that cuda doesn't run on. Downgrading that to the kernel 24.04 originally shipped with broke zfs, which Ubuntu made a huge fuss about shipping out of the box.

Damned thing is running now (without zfs, and gnome won't start), and I think I've killed the automated updates system, but it definitely doesn't have robust wont-fall-over vibes.

So for Canonical, if you see this, don't change the kernel you've released with if you aren't also changing the version number.
