I have a Intel Xeon machine with NVIDIA GeForce1080 GTX configured and CentOS 7 as operating system. I have installed NVIDIA-driver 410.93 and cuda-toolkit 10.0. After compiling the cuda-samples, i tried to run ./deviceQuery. But it throws like this

./deviceQuery Starting...

 CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 30
-> unknown error
Result = FAIL

some command outputs

lspci | grep VGA

[    8.237489] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  410.93  Thu Dec 20 17:01:16 CST 2018 (using threaded interrupts)

Is this problem anything related to modprobe or nvidia-uvm? I asked this in NVIDIA-devtalk forum, but no-reply yet. Please give some suggestions.
Thanking in advance.

the error message isn't really explicit... Are you in the video group ?X3liF
And the programming question here is?talonmies

I debugged it. The problem is version mismatch between nvidia-driver(410.93) and cuda(with driver 410.48 came with cuda run file). Gave autoremove all the drivers and reinstalled from the beginning. Deleted all the link files in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/*. Now it works fine. And nvidia-uvm also loaded.

lsmod | grep nvidia
