How to install latest version of CUDA on Ubuntu 18.04
I tried to install CUDA on Ubuntu but got errors.
I follow official guide for installation. And actually I succeed on my own mac.
But on ubuntu 18.04 machine, when I tried to test those samples, it showed that no CUDA-capable device detected, but actually there is an nvidia GPU, GTX470.
Also, "nvidia-smi" command doesn't work, saying can't find the CUDA driver, but actually, if we run apt-get install cuda driver, it showed that cuda driver is already installed. You may check the error image:
drivers nvidia cuda

Don't use the Wayland login option, it switches the display to the integrated graphics. Even running Wayland, the non-graphics CUDA samples should still run.

I agree with @ubfan1 above and make sure you are logging in using the XOrg option. Your graphics card is listed at using the 396.18 driver. If you follow the answer askubuntu.com/a/1086993/231142 but download CUDA 10 from here you should be able to step through and set it up correctly. I can try to write an answer later if that helps.

Use the installation guide provided here by eromod. This worked for me on 18.04 on different computers, other than the official version.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
reboot
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit gcc-6
nvcc --version
