Question: I just updated my graphics cards drives with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470 sudo apt install cuda-drivers-470  I decided to install them in this manner because they were being held back when trying to sudo apt upgrade. I mistakenly then did sudo apt autoremove to cleanup old packages. After restarting my computer for new drivers to get setup properly, I could no longer use GPU acceleration with tensorflow. import tensorflow as tf tf.test.is_gpu_available() WARNING:tensorflow:From <stdin>:1: is_gpu_available (from tensorflow.python.framework.test_util) is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

Please make sure the missing libraries mentioned above are installed properly if you would like to use GPU. Follow the guide at https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu for how to download and setup the required libraries for your platform. Skipping registering GPU devices... False 

Answer: You can create symlinks inside of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory. I found it by: $ whereis libcudart libcudart: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcudart.so /usr/share/man/man7/libcudart.7.gz  Within this folder you can find other versions of those cuda libraries. Then create symlinks like this. Your specific version that you are linking to might be slightly different. $ sudo ln -s libcublas.so.10.2.1.243 libcublas.so.11 $ sudo ln -s libcublasLt.so.10.2.1.243 libcublasLt.so.11 $ sudo ln -s libcusolver.so.10.2.0.243 libcusolver.so.11 $ sudo ln -s libcusparse.so.10.3.0.243 libcusparse.so.11  Now your GPU should be detected. import tensorflow as tf >>> tf.test.is_gpu_available() WARNING:tensorflow:From <stdin>:1: is_gpu_available (from tensorflow.python.framework.test_util) is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

If tensorflow is looking for libcublas.so.11, you can create a file with that name that just points to another version of libcublas that is already installed.
