Instalación de controladores NVIDIA GPU y CUDA en Ubuntu Linux¶
Soportamos oficialmente las tarjetas Nvidia únicamente en las versiones LTS de Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04. Para instalar controladores en otras distribuciones, consulte las instrucciones oficiales para desarrolladores:
Información
Atención
Para el funcionamiento correcto de las GPUs de la serie Tesla (p. ej., NVIDIA Tesla T4), asegúrese de que los parámetros 'above 4G decoding', 'large/64bit BARs' o 'Above 4G MMIO BIOS assignment' estén habilitados en la BIOS del servidor.
Abra la consola del servidor (vía consola nativa o SSH), inicie sesión como root, copie el siguiente script, péguelo en la línea de comandos y presione Enter para instalar automáticamente los controladores y CUDA. Si necesita docker o docker compose para que su software funcione, instálelos ANTES de instalar los controladores para que el script pueda realizar el "passthrough" del soporte de GPU a los contenedores.
Nota
Si está utilizando un shell de línea de comandos que no sea bash (p. ej., zsh u otro), cambie a bash para ejecutar el script ejecutando exec bash.
Atención
Durante la instalación, es posible que deba presionar Enter para confirmar la instalación de nuevos módulos del kernel o el reinicio de servicios.
Script de instalación¶

#===============================================================================
# Universal NVIDIA Driver + CUDA Installer for Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04 LTS
# - Legacy GPUs (CC < 7.5): pinned driver + CUDA 12.9 (last branch supporting Pascal/Volta)
# - Blackwell GPUs: open kernel modules + latest CUDA
# - All other GPUs (incl. RTX A5000, CC 8.6): proprietary driver 580 + latest CUDA
# - cuda-drivers meta-package is NEVER installed (avoids pulling open modules)

Atención
Después de ejecutar el script, es obligatorio reiniciar el servidor mediante el comando sudo reboot. Esto es necesario para activar los nuevos módulos del kernel.
Después de reiniciar, verifique la instalación de los controladores y CUDA utilizando los comandos nvidia-smi y nvcc -V. Debería ver una salida similar a la siguiente:
