Hello,

As referenced in this issue when attempting to install nvidia-docker2 via apt in Pop OS! the container runtime is unable to access GPUs on the machine due to a compilation error.

Would it possible to remedy this? Also the current version of nvidia-docker2 provided by Pop is several months out of date and could use an update.

As discussed in pop-os/nvidia-docker#3 the issue seems to be with the fork and not the original repo.

@mmstick what is preventing these repos from being updated -- or even the upstream packages being used directly?

@elezar I am actually updating from 1.11 to 1.12 right now. I do not know what the issue is though. It's not easy to package.

The packages from NVIDIA aren't built with standard Debian packaging tools. They seem to have a custom infrastructure with some dependencies that don't readily compile on 22.04.

Packages can't be pulled from another repository directly. They have to be buildable from source with sbuild in an offline environment.

If that's the case then for the moment might it not be better to stop providing the package through Pop distribution channels? As it stands installing a functional version requires overriding apt priorities to allow a manually-added nvidia source to take precedence

Can confirm this solves the issue downstream on nvidia-docker2 installed from Pop repos. Thanks @mmstick , @elezar !
