"gdrdrv-dkms:amd64 is not configured" in container when installing NVSHMEM

[JoeyYoung]

Hi all,

I have successfully installed and loaded the kernel modules on the host machine (with gdrcopy_copybw verified), but when I enter the container env to install the prebuilt debs, instructed as follows:

Container: install DEB packages without rebuilding modules:
sudo dpkg -i gdrcopy_2.4.4_amd64.Ubuntu22_04.deb \
             libgdrapi_2.4.4_amd64.Ubuntu22_04.deb \
             gdrcopy-tests_2.4.4_amd64.Ubuntu22_04+cuda12.3.deb

I encounter the following errors:

(Reading database ... 29421 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack gdrcopy_2.4.4_amd64.Ubuntu22_04.deb ...
Unpacking gdrcopy:amd64 (2.4.4) over (2.4.4) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gdrcopy:amd64:
 gdrcopy:amd64 depends on gdrdrv-dkms (= 2.4.4); however:
  Package gdrdrv-dkms:amd64 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package gdrcopy:amd64 (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gdrcopy:amd64

Any hints on how to solve the problem?

If this is a WSL2 container then gdrcopy is not supported.
NVIDIA/gdrcopy#219

If this is a WSL2 container then gdrcopy is not supported. NVIDIA/gdrcopy#219

no, we use linux kernel 5.15.0-131-generic

Then I don't know. Can you try building gdrcopy from source?

@JoeyYoung Would you be able to try installing the gdrdrv-dkms_2.4.4_amd64.Ubuntu22_04.deb package inside the container as well?

Thanks, this one works! (also need to install dkms in container)
