how to completely remove cuda toolkit/driver from ubuntu 12.04
I am on a Ubuntu 12.04 32bit. I have installed Cuda driver and toolkit, and now I want to remove them.
I have installed manually so they does not appear in synaptic/apt.
I have removed the driver from "Additional Driver". Well, they are inactive but still in the list. How to completely remove them?
Then, I have the toolkit in /usr/local/cuda
, how to remove it completely and safely? I don't think that rm -r /usr/local/cuda
is the right way..
some advice
I just ran the installer and at the end it says
To uninstall CUDA, remove the CUDA files in /usr/local/cuda-5.0
So you should be fine simply removing it.
According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cuda (my formatting):
"If you want to totally remove Cuda, juste delete the /opt/cuda
and ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK
folders:
rm -r ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK
sudo rm -r /opt/cuda
and remove the export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cuda/bin
and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda/lib:/opt/cuda/lib64
lines of the ~/.bash_profile
file.
